Storage containers overview
Storage containers on PowerStore appliances act as a logical grouping of vVols that enable vVols to map directly to the cluster.
A storage container spans all appliances in a cluster and uses storage from each. On PowerStore appliances, vVols reside in storage containers, which enable vVols to map directly to an appliance within the PowerStore cluster. The specific appliance that a given vVol resides on is not visible to vSphere, and a vVol can migrate between appliances without disrupting vSphere operations. With storage containers, VMs or VMDKs can be managed independently.
For information about managing storage containers in PowerStore Manager, see Monitoring and managing storage containers.
Multitenancy
PowerStore appliances support multiple storage containers on a cluster to support multitenancy requirements. Multiple storage containers can be created allowing the separation of VMs and associated vVols from one tenant to another.
