The datastores and virtual machines that are provisioned by VSC are displayed on the dashboard of VSC, which enables you to easily monitor and manage these datastores and virtual machines.
  • Configuring virtual volume datastores
    You can use VASA Provider for ONTAP to create and manage virtual volumes (VVols). You can provision, edit, mount, and delete a virtual datastore. You can also add storage to the datastore or remove storage from the virtual datastore. VVols provide greater flexibility. You can provision and manage every virtual machine and the related VMDK.
