This is a fresh install of vcenter 5.5 & Director 5.5.1, when I first linked the vcenter into director I can see the storage policies I'd created along with their datastores but if I then edit any storage policies on the vcenter I can't see any of them anymore when trying to add them to vDCs and the *(any) option no longer shows any of the datastores that were part of them either, even if I remove the storage policies and their tags from vcenter. As an experiment I tried dismantling everything from director and re-adding the vcenter, I could once again see the storage policies but any further edits make them disappear again. I've tried refreshing the vcenter storage policies as per another similar post but this doesn't help.
Is there maybe some residual relationship with the old storage profiles methods that needs to be maintained? I tried creating those through the windows client as well but couldn't see them in director either. Is it a problem that I can't see storage profiles in the web client or storage policies in the windows client?
Am I missing something? At this point I'm tempted to blow away the 5.5.1 director and install a 5.5 appliance instead to see if that has any effect.
One further question: Should I be able to see empty storage policies in Director? (as in ones that are setup and tagged but there aren't any datastores associated yet?) This would go a long way where I should be trouble shooting if I should be able to.
