Cause
By default, PowerStore X is installed with vVol datastores containing spaces in their name. The issue occurs when the user uses the default datastore or creates an additional Storage Container to create Content Library.
Note: This event is not specific to only vVols datastore as this is a limitation from VMware end.
Resolution
Workaround:
Rename datastores that have spaces in their name or create a new one without any spaces in the name.
