# Editing volumes

## About this task

## Procedure

1. Create a datastore without selecting the Ransomware Detection check box. 

   To create a datastore, go to Infrastructure > Clusters, click the cluster name, then click Storage > Add. For more information on creating a datastore, see [Create Datastore](https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/api/document/sd00007520en_us/render?page=GUID-5332DFF1-C4D9-4CB9-9EB7-53E9A73719DE.html).
2. Create a VM with the Ransomware Detection disabled datastore.

   To begin provisioning a VM instance with the Ransomware Detection disabled datastore, go to Provisioning > Instances. For more information on creating a VM instance, see [Create Instance](https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/api/document/sd00007520en_us/render?page=GUID-E0B9310C-0B93-4BD0-AE57-9CA6432C2C7D.html).
