Datastore Resources

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

1. At the bottom of the inventory pane, click vCloud Director View.
2. 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.
3. Go to 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 that is currently consumed on the datastore
• Provisioned Storage, GB — amount of space that is provisioned to virtual machines. If VMs are created with thing provisioning, some of the provisioned space might not be used
• Requested storage, GB — amount of provisioned storage that is 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
