To add a datastore
to a datastore
cluster, the new
datastore must be
connected to all
the hosts currently
connected to the
datastore cluster.
SDRS also offers a maintenance mode option for datastores, just as vSphere DRS offers a
maintenance mode option for ESXi hosts. To place a datastore into SDRS maintenance mode,
right-click the datastore and select All vCenter Actions
➢
Enter Maintenance Mode. If there
are any registered VMs currently on that datastore, SDRS will immediately generate migration
recommendations, as Figure 12.31 shows. If you select Cancel in the SDRS Maintenance Mode
Migration Recommendations dialog box, you will cancel the SDRS maintenance mode request
and the datastore will not go into SDRS maintenance mode.

Putting a datas-
tore into SDRS
maintenance mode
generates SDRS
recommendations
to evacuate the
datastore.
