Delete a Datastore
Deleting a datastore removes the datastore from all organizations and deletes all Lab Manager data on that
datastore. Only system administrators can delete datastores.
N
The operation does not delete files in the actual datastore.
OTE
Before you delete a datastore, complete these activities:
Disconnect the datastore in vCenter.
For example, if the datastore is connected to three hosts managed by Lab Manager, disconnect the
datastore from all three hosts through vCenter.
Disable the datastore. See "Enable and Disable Datastores" on page 95.
Make sure that the media files associated with a datastore are not in use.
If you remove a datastore with media stores and add it back to Lab Manager later, you need to recreate
the media stores because the original ones are no longer available.
To delete a datastore
1
In the Organization drop‐down menu, select Global.
2
In the left pane, click Resources.
3
On the Datastores tab, move the pointer over the datastore and select Delete.
4
Click OK.
Lab Manager deletes the datastore.
Remove a Datastore
You can only remove a datastore from an organization other than Global. Removing a datastore deletes the
datastore as a resource from just that organization. The datastore is available to the other organizations in
Lab Manager.

In the Organization drop‐down menu, select an organization other than Global.
2
In the left pane, click Resources.
3
On the Datastores tab, move the pointer over the datastore and select Remove.

Enable and Disable Datastores
As the system administrator, you can enable and disable datastores. When you disable a datastore, you cannot
deploy the configurations associated with the datastore, create virtual machines on the datastore, or create a
media store on the datastore.
To enable or disable a datastore
1
In the left pane, click Resources.
2
In the Datastores tab, move the pointer over the datastore and select Enable or Disable.

Click OK.
