Deleting Multiple Virtual Disks

time. To delete multiple Virtual Disks:
1. Click the Delete Multiple Virtual Disks command.
The Delete Multiple Virtual Disks dialog box is displayed.
2. Select the Virtual Disks to be deleted.
3. Click OK to delete the selected Virtual Disks.
4. Click OK on the confirmation dialog to confirm deletion of the selected Virtual Disks.
Redistribute Virtual Disks
This release of the MD vCenter Plug-in now supports redistribution of storage array Virtual Disks based on
their preferred controller ownership. During the ESX/ESXi rescan operations, Virtual Disks ownership is
transferred to the non-preferred controller causing the storage array to become non-optimal. By
redistributing the Virtual Disks to their preferred controller owner, this will resolve the non-optimal
condition and balance the I/O loads across the storage array controllers. If all the storage array Virtual
Disks are already located on their preferred controller, then the Redistribute Virtual Disks link will be
greyed out and unavailable.
Mappings View
The Mappings view tab allows mapping of storage array Virtual Diskss to ESX/ESXi hosts and managing
hosts and host groups on the storage array. The following commands are available from this tab:
• Add Mapping
• Add Host/Host Group
• Remove/ Refresh
