Attaching a datastore

You can attach an existing datastore to one or more hosts in a cluster or datacenter.

1. Browse to the storage system where you want to attach a datastore.
2. Select Datastores > Attach.
3. Enter the following:

   Storage System

   Select a storage system from the list.

   Datastore

   Select the datastore that you want to attach from the list.

   Note: You can select only one datastore.

   Select Hosts

   Select the hosts or clusters, and then click Advanced Options to select the specific host groups for the selected hosts.

   Note:

   Click the Refresh icon to refresh the host or cluster information.

   Refreshing vCenter requires a ucpAdmin role.

   Note: ESXi hosts for compute nodes in Onboarding or Error state are not listed.
4. Click Submit.
   Note: The zone verification task runs in parallel and as a separate task with the attach datastore task.
