Setting Up VVols Operations on Dell Storage Manager

To set up and run operations for virtual volumes (VVols) in Dell Storage Manager, you must:

  • Register VMware vCenter Server in Dell Storage Manager.
  • Register VMware vCenter Server in Storage Center either by using Auto manage Storage Center option in Dell Storage Manager or by manually adding vCenter server in Storage Center.
  • Register the VASA provider on a vCenter server
  • Create storage containers that are used to store the VVols objects created by the vCenter administrator
  • Use Dell Storage Manager to create datastores of type VVOL, which are mapped to the storage containers on the array using Dell Storage Manager
  • Use vCenter to create VVol-backed VMs

Dell Storage Manager provides Summary and Storage views that provide information about storage containers, datastores, VVols, and protocol endpoints. These objects are managed using Dell Storage Manager. Protocol endpoints are created automatically by Dell Storage Manager and cannot be modified in any way.
