Allow Users to Select Storage Tiers

Storage tiers are classifications for the data stores associated with each disk. Tiers generally indicate different levels of performance of the data store on which a VM and its hard drives are created. Administrators can enable or disable storage tiers.

When storage tiers are enabled, users can select them when they make virtual machine reservations.

To allow users to select storage tiers

1. As administrator in Reservation Manager, under Administer Your Reservation Manager, click Manage your configuration settings.

   The Configure Settings page opens.

2. Click the following link in the Virtual Machines area:

   Allow Data Store Tier Selection

3. Enter a value and click OK.

The configuration change takes effect when the browser is restarted.
