- Click New... and set a Name and Description
- Repeat for all datastores you want to include in the PVDC
Second, create VM Storage Profiles
- Home -> Management -> VM Storage Profiles
- Create a VM Storage Profile
- Name and assign the Storage Capabilities from the user-defined list you just created
- IMPORTANT: Enable the VM Storage Profile (buttons at the top of the window)
Thrid, refresh storage profiles in VCD
- Manage and Monitor -> vCenters
- r.click vCenter and Refresh Storage Profiles (might take a couple minutes)
Fourth, edit PVDC
- Manage and Monitor -> Provider VDCs -> Open your PVDC
- Storage Profiles tab
- Add new Storage Profile
- Remove the *Any Storage Profile (r.click disable then remove)
