Additional Information

Capability profiles

A VVol datastore is associated with one or more capability profiles. A capability profile is a set of storage capabilities for a VVol datastore. These capabilities are derived based on the underlying pools for the VVol datastore. The VVol datastore will show as compatible storage in vCenter or the vSphere Web Client if the associated capability profiles meet VMware storage policy requirements. Capability profiles must be created before you can create a VVol datastore. Capability profiles can be created at the time of pool creation (recommended), or can be added to an existing pool later.
