Mount a Remote Datastore

Use the
SDDC Manager UI
 to remotely mount datastores from other vSAN clusters (servers).
At least one vSAN datastore must exist on the workload domain.
With HCI Mesh, a cluster can mount a remote vSAN datastore configured with another cluster in an existing workload domain. Once mounted, the cluster consumes storage resources from the remote datastore.
Two or more clusters can share the same vSAN datastore.

    Inventory
    Workload Domains

  2. In the domain table, click the name of a domain.
  3. Click the
    Clusters
     tab.
  4. In the clusters table, click the cluster name.
  5. Click the
    ACTIONS
     dropdown to the right of the cluster name and select
    Mount Remote Datastore
    .
  6. Select a remote datastore from the list of available vSAN clusters (servers) and click
    NEXT
    .

The remote datastore shows as mounted on the existing vSAN cluster.
