Cause

To support an association between an ESXi NVMe vVol host and a storage container, vSphere SDK 8.0 is required.
Until vSphere SDK 8.0 is supported in a future PowerStoreOS version, the PowerStore Manager is unable to correctly display the ESXi NVMe vVol hosts in the "ESXi hosts" tab of a Storage Container.

Resolution

Verify host details in the vSphere client UI.
