Datastore Resources

You can view a list of datastores attached to provider virtual datacenters:

At the bottom of the inventory pane, click vCloud Director View.
In the inventory pane, select a provider VDC node to view datastores attached to this provider VDC. Select the Provider VDCs node to view datastores attached to all provider VDCs within the vCloud Director cell.
Open the Datastores tab.

For every datastore in the list, the following details are shown:

Name — name of the datastore (you can click the name to switch to the summary dashboard for the datastore)
Type — datastore file system (VMFS or NFS)
Used Storage, GB — amount of storage resources currently consumed on the datastore
Provisioned Storage, GB — amount of space provisioned to VMs. If VMs are created using thin provisioning, some of the provisioned space might not be used
Requested storage, GB — amount of provisioned storage used by vCloud Director-managed objects. If thin provisioning is enabled on vCloud Director, some of the requested space might not be used
Provider VDC — number of provider VDCs to which the datastore is attached
vCenter — name of the vCenter Server that manages the datastore
