33.5 Excluding or Including a Storage Account Resource

Discovered Storage Account resources are automatically included in the list of resources available for an Azure Platform resource.

You can use the Storage Accounts page to exclude a Storage Account resource for use by migrations to the target platform. The excluded Storage Account resource appears dimmed in the Storage Accounts list. Excluded resources do not appear in other dialogs for planning.

NOTE:When you exclude the resource, PTM automatically removes its associations, including those assigned to workloads that are in progress and completed.

To exclude a Storage Account resource for a target platform:

  1. In the Web Interface toolbar, select Platforms.

  2. Select the Azure platform, then click Edit.

  3. Under Associations, select the Storage Accounts tab.

  4. Select the appropriate storage account, click Exclude, then click Yes to confirm the exclusion.

You can use Include to enable an excluded Storage Account resource.

NOTE:Including the Storage Account resource does not reinstate any prior associations the storage account had before you excluded it.

  2. Select the Azure platform, then click Edit.

  3. Under Associations, select the Storage Accounts tab.
