Managing vSphere Datastores
You can enable or disable vSphere datastores in the Cloud Director system and also configure low disk space
warnings for each datastore.
Enable or Disable a Datastore
When you disable a datastore, you cannot start vApps associated with the datastore or create vApps on the
datastore.
Procedure
1 Click the Manage & Monitor tab and click Datastores in the left pane.
2 Right-click the datastore name and select Enable or Disable.
Cloud Director enables or disables the datastore for all provider vDCs that use its resources.
Configure Low Disk Space Warnings for a Datastore
You can configure low disk space warnings on a datastore to receive an email from Cloud Director when the
datastore reaches a specific threshold of available capacity. These warnings alert you to a low disk situation
before it becomes a problem.
Procedure
1 Click the Manage & Monitor tab and click Datastores in the left pane.
2 Right-click the datastore name and select Properties.
3 Select the disk space thresholds for the datastore.
You can set two thresholds, yellow and red. When Cloud Director sends an email alert, the message
indicates which threshold was crossed.
4 Click OK.
Cloud Director sends an email alert when the datastore crosses a threshold.
Managing Stranded Items
When you delete an object in Cloud Director and that object also exists in vSphere, Cloud Director attempts
to delete the object from vSphere. In some situations, Cloud Director may not be able to delete the object in
vSphere, in which case, the object becomes stranded.
You can view a list of stranded items and try again to delete them, or you can use the vSphere Client to delete
the stranded objects in vSphere.
