30.6 Excluding or Including a Datastore Resource

Discovered Datastore resources are automatically included in the list of resources available for a Platform resource. You can use the Datastores page to exclude a Datastore resource for use by migrations to the target platform. The excluded Datastore resource appears dimmed in the Datastores list. Excluded resources do not appear in other dialogs for planning.

NOTE:Transformation Manager automatically removes its associations, including those assigned to workloads that are in progress and completed.

To exclude a Resource Pool resource for a target platform:

  1. In the Web Interface toolbar, select Platforms.

  2. Select the VMware vCenter platform, then click Edit.

  3. Under Associations, select the Resource Pool tab.

  4. Select the appropriate resource pool, click Exclude, then click Yes to confirm the exclusion.

You can use Include to enable an excluded Resource Pool resource. Including the Resource Pool resource does not reinstate any prior associations the Resource pool had before you excluded it.

  2. Select the VMware vCenter platform, then click Edit.

  3. Under Associations, select the Resource Pools tab.
