Setting Up VVols Operations on Unisphere Central

To set up and run operations for virtual volumes (VVols) in Unisphere Central, you must:

  • Register VMware vCenter Server in Unisphere Central.
  • Register VMware vCenter Server in Storage Center either by using Auto manage Storage Center option in Unisphere Central 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 Unisphere Central to create datastores of type VVOL, which are mapped to the storage containers on the array using Unisphere Central
  • Use vCenter to create VVol-backed VMs

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