Select a storage policy

You can select a new storage policy for the placement of newly recovered virtual machines or vApps. By modifying the selected storage policy, you can move the destination replica files from one datastore to another.
  1. In the left pane, choose a replication direction by clicking
    Incoming Replications
    or
    Outgoing Replications
    .
  2. To select a new storage policy for a virtual machine replication, in the top right of the page click the
    VM
    button, or to select a new storage policy for a vApp replication, click the
    vApp
    button.
  3. Select a replication with a
    Green
    overall health.
  4. Click
    All Actions
    Change storage policy
    .
  5. In the
    Edit storage policy
    window, select the new storage policy.
  6. Optionally, you can select
    Reset current storage policy
    .
    If the datastore that the replication resides on no longer belongs to the current storage policy,
    VMware Cloud Director Availability
    moves the replication to a datastore that belongs to the current storage policy. If there is a datastore with sufficient free space in the storage policy, the replication can move to that datastore, otherwise, the replication does not move.
  7. After you modify the selection, click
    OK
    .
In the
Tasks history
pane, the
Change storage profile
task runs for the selected storage policy.
