Remove Local Storage View

Can someone give me the command to run on the ESX box to remove the local storage view from Vcenter view. I only want to be able to see SAN attached storage and not local disk

Thanks

Hi, Move all the local datastores to a seperate folder and assign permission.

Isn't there a command you can run on ESX to hide this? Maybe some type of fdisk?

There is a LUN masking option, but if you use it you want see the LUN at all.

As written before, use datastore permission on vCenter (are designed for this kind of task).

If I use datastore permissions that means that all the

permission that I have propagated have to be corrected. Just seems like more work. Is there any other way.
