Excluding disks on a VMHost from the storage pool
To exclude disks on a VMHost from being considered as a datastore for a virtual machine, do
the following:
1.
Log into the CMS.
2. Navigate to the C:\Program Files\HP\Insight Orchestration\conf\
hpio.properties
file.
3. In the hpio.properties file, locate the following section:
##################### VOLUMES TO EXCLUDE #####################
# A semicolon separated list of volumes to be excluded for the list
possible
# for allocation. They can be either VMware or HyperV style volumes:
# e.g. /vmfs/volumes/privateStorage; /vmfs/volumes/NotHere
# or C:;Y:;Z:
# An entry may contain one or more "*" characters which represent
a wildcard
# and will match any character.
# comparison are case-insensitive.
# For example, if you had two volumes with Ids of
"/vmfs/volumes/storage1" and
# "/vmfs/volumes/storage2" - you could exclude them both with an
entry of
# "/vmfs/volumes/storage*".
# Note:
# This exclusion list applies to all hosts. So any host that is
found to have
# a volume that matches an entry on the exclusion list - the volume
will be
# removed and not reported as available to that host.
volume.exclusion.list =
4. To configure a Hyper-V VMHost, add the drive letters you want to exclude (for example,
“C:;Y:;Z:”
) to the property volume.exclusion.list.
5. To configure a VMware VMHost, add the datastore path that you want to exclude (for
example, /vmfs/volumes/privateStorage) to the property volume.exclusion.list.
6. Save the file.
