# VMware vSphere Datastores

You can view the list of datastores in your Microsoft Hyper-V infrastructure — on System Center Virtual Machine Manager or in a cluster.

To view the list of datastores:

1. Open Veeam ONE Client.

   For details, see [Accessing Veeam ONE Components](access.md).

2. At the bottom of the inventory pane, click **Virtual Infrastructure**.
3. In the inventory pane, select the necessary infrastructure container.
4. Open the **Infrastructure Objects** tab and navigate to **Datastores**.
5. To find the necessary datastore by name, use the **Search** field at the top of the list.
6. Click column names to sort datastores by a specific parameter.

   For example, to view what datastores have the greatest amount of free space, you can sort datastores in the list by **Free Space**.

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

- **Name** — name of a datastore
- **Parent Object** — name of the parent object in the infrastructure
- **File System** — type of the file system on the datastore
- **Capacity** — total capacity of a datastore
- **Free Space** — amount of available free space on a datastore
- **VM Count** — number of VMs that reside on a datastore

You can choose what columns to show or hide in the **Datastores** table:

- To hide one or more columns, right-click the table header, and clear check boxes next to the corresponding data fields.
- To make hidden columns visible, right-click the table header, and select check boxes next to the corresponding data fields.
