Selecting Storage

The Storage page allows you to configure the primary datastore which acts as the default selection for restored VM disks. You may also deselect individual disks, or map individual disks to a storage device other than the primary datastore.

To configure storage selections:
a
In the Primary Datastore field, confirm the datastore listed, or click the browse icon and select a different datastore from the list.

This page lists all datastores associated with the selected host. Datastores are first grouped based on whether they are governed by a storage policy. Datastores are also grouped based on whether they reside in a DRS cluster. You can expand or collapse groups as needed.

By default, vRanger assigns the same storage selection to the primary VM and its disks, if applicable.

b
To select a different datastore for a disk, click the browse button in the Target Datastore column entry for the disk and select the applicable datastore or DRS. Click OK.
c
Click Next.

OR

Click the browse button and select the appropriate storage from the available options. Click OK.
