Using datastore clusters

Since we have configured the different types of datastores, let's configure the datastore cluster. We can use following cmdlets to manage different aspects of a datastore cluster:

• Get-DatastoreCluster

• New-DatastoreCluster

• Remove-DatastoreCluster

• Set-DatastoreCluster

Let's start by checking whether we already have a datastore cluster configured or not:

PS C:\> Get-DatastoreCluster
PS C:\>

We can see that there is no DatastoreCluster configured in the environment. So let's first create DatastoreCluster. As you can see in the following screenshot, we have created a datastore cluster named iSCSI-Cluster in Datacenter:

We can again check whether a datastore is present in the environment or not. As you can see in the following screenshot, a DatastoreCluster has been created:

But as you can see from the preceding example, no datastore has been added to the cluster and the storage DRS automation level has not been set. So let's check how we can set those parameters...
