Configuring datastores

You can use Virtual Storage Console (VSC) to configure datastores and virtual machines in your vCenter Server. The datastores and virtual machines that are provisioned by VSC are displayed on the dashboard of VSC, which enables you to easily monitor and manage these datastores and virtual machines.

  1. Provisioning datastores
    Provisioning a datastore creates a logical container for your virtual machines and their VMDKs. You can provision a datastore, and then attach the datastore to a single host, to all of the hosts in a cluster, or to all of the hosts in a datacenter by using the Lenovo Datastore Provisioning Wizard.
  2. Mounting datastores on hosts
    Mounting a datastore provides storage access to additional hosts. You can mount the datastore on the additional hosts after you add the hosts to your VMware environment.
