--- title: "End-Of-Life management for LV1 and LV2 storage" url: https://docs.ovhcloud.com/pl/guides/hosted-private-cloud/powered-by-vmware/eol-storage-migration lang: pl lastUpdated: 2023-03-02 --- # End-Of-Life management for LV1 and LV2 storage :::warning OVHcloud provides services for which you are responsible, with regard to their configuration and management. It is therefore your responsibility to ensure that they work properly. This guide is designed to assist you as much as possible with common tasks. However, we recommend contacting a [specialist provider](https://partner.ovhcloud.com/pl/directory/) if you experience any difficulties or doubts when it comes to managing, using or setting up a service on a server. ::: ## Objective Some storages will no longer be available at the end of March 2023 as they will no longer be maintained, as described in this guide: [Life cycle of VMware on OVHcloud](/pl/guides/hosted-private-cloud/powered-by-vmware/lifecycle-policy.md#datastores-stockage). We will go through all the steps to migrate your data to more recent storage and disable your obsolete storage. ## Requirements - Being an administrative contact of your [Hosted Private Cloud infrastructure](https://www.ovhcloud.com/en-gb/enterprise/products/hosted-private-cloud/) to receive login credentials. - A user account with access to the OVHcloud Control Panel. - A user account with access to vSphere. ## Instructions ### Adding storage Using the new storage ranges will provide you with full-SSD (vs SSD-accelerated) disks, 2x2x25Gbps network cards (vs 2x10Gbps), higher availability and resilience. Click this link for more information: [NFS Datastore](https://www.ovhcloud.com/en-gb/enterprise/products/hosted-private-cloud/datastores-nfs/). Use this guide to add more storage if you have not yet subscribed to a more recent solution: [How do I add storage space?](/pl/guides/hosted-private-cloud/powered-by-vmware/how-to-add-storage.md) ### Migrating your virtual machines Go to your vCenter interface and check the virtual machines that are on each of your outdated datastores. Click on the `storage` icon, select your Datastore in `Shared Storage` to the left. Click on the `VM` tab and stay on `Virtual Machines` to display the virtual machines on this obsolete storage. ![01 check existing VM on datastore 01](/images/guides/hosted-private-cloud/powered-by-vmware/eol-storage-migration/01-check-existing-vm-on-datastore01.png) Right-click each of the virtual machines that are on this datastore, choose `Migrate` and use the [VMware Storage vMotion](/pl/guides/hosted-private-cloud/powered-by-vmware/storage-vmotion.md#finalising-the-operation) guide to migrate to a more recent datastore. ![01 check existing VM on datastore 02](/images/guides/hosted-private-cloud/powered-by-vmware/eol-storage-migration/01-check-existing-vm-on-datastore02.png) When the tab no longer contains virtual machines, go to `VM template in folders` to view the saved templates on your _datastore_. ![02 unregister and move template 01](/images/guides/hosted-private-cloud/powered-by-vmware/eol-storage-migration/02-unregister-and-move-template01.png) Right-click each of the templates saved in your _datastore_ and click `Remove from Inventory`. :::warning The template is deleted from the inventory but is still in the _datastore_. You can retrieve it and move it to another _datastore_ or delete it if you no longer need it. ::: ![02 unregister and move template 02](/images/guides/hosted-private-cloud/powered-by-vmware/eol-storage-migration/02-unregister-and-move-template02.png) The templates list is empty, you can keep moving your templates to another datastore. ![02 unregister and move template 03](/images/guides/hosted-private-cloud/powered-by-vmware/eol-storage-migration/02-unregister-and-move-template03.png) Go to the `Files` tab, go to a folder in a template and click `Move to`. ![02 unregister and move template 04](/images/guides/hosted-private-cloud/powered-by-vmware/eol-storage-migration/02-unregister-and-move-template04.png) Choose a Datastore and click `OK`. ![02 unregister and move template 05](/images/guides/hosted-private-cloud/powered-by-vmware/eol-storage-migration/02-unregister-and-move-template05.png) Wait for the task to complete. ![02 unregister and move template 06](/images/guides/hosted-private-cloud/powered-by-vmware/eol-storage-migration/02-unregister-and-move-template06.png) Select the destination datastore for the template on the left, go to the Template folder, select the template file and click `Save VM`. ![03 register template 01](/images/guides/hosted-private-cloud/powered-by-vmware/eol-storage-migration/03-register-template01.png) Click `NEXT`. ![03 register template 02](/images/guides/hosted-private-cloud/powered-by-vmware/eol-storage-migration/03-register-template02.png) Click `NEXT` again. ![03 register template 03](/images/guides/hosted-private-cloud/powered-by-vmware/eol-storage-migration/03-register-template03.png) Click `FINISH`. ![03 register template 04](/images/guides/hosted-private-cloud/powered-by-vmware/eol-storage-migration/03-register-template04.png) Go to the `VM & templates` tab to make your model appear. ![03 register template 05](/images/guides/hosted-private-cloud/powered-by-vmware/eol-storage-migration/03-register-template05.png) ### Deleting storage for your VMware cluster Use this guide to delete your obsolete storage: [Delete a datastore](/pl/guides/hosted-private-cloud/powered-by-vmware/delete-datastore.md) :::warning After deleting your Datastore, log in to your OVHcloud Control Panel to stop subscribing to this service. ::: ## Go further Join our community of users on [https://community.ovh.com/en/](https://community.ovh.com/en/).
