how to remove local disk from storage profile

[stan12345]

i am using vcloud 5.1.1 with latest vcenter. my issue is that my single storage profile includes local disk.(when I click *Any properties in vcloud)

I went to vsphere vcenter client (home > inventory > datastores and datastore clusters) i see local ESXi disk. is there a way to remove this without deleting the content of disks? will any vcloud vms go on local disk? concern is its not shared between hosts. Thanks,

Did you create storage profiles from vCenter or vCloud?

I just enabled the default in vcenter . I have not set individual storage profiles

You need to create storage profiles from vCenter like whatever luns you want to add before you creating Provider vDC in vCloud. and you can manage them from vCenter too.

You should create Storage Profiles for the datastores that you want to use.

First, assign user-defined storage capability:

1. Home -> Inventory -> Datastores and Datastore Clusters
2. R.Click the datastore you wish to use -> Assign User-Defined Storage Capability
3. Click New... and set a Name and Description
4. Repeat for all datastores you want to include in the PVDC

Second, create VM Storage Profiles

1. Home -> Management -> VM Storage Profiles
2. Create a VM Storage Profile
3. Name and assign the Storage Capabilities from the user-defined list you just created
4. IMPORTANT: Enable the VM Storage Profile (buttons at the top of the window)

Thrid, refresh storage profiles in VCD

1. Manage and Monitor -> vCenters
2. r.click vCenter and Refresh Storage Profiles (might take a couple minutes)

Fourth, edit PVDC

1. Manage and Monitor -> Provider VDCs -> Open your PVDC
2. Storage Profiles tab
3. Add new Storage Profile
4. Remove the *Any Storage Profile (r.click disable then remove)
