The system supports VMware vSphere Virtual Volumes, sometimes referred to as VVols, which allow VMware vCenter to automate the management of system objects like volumes and pools.
The system administrator can assign ownership of Virtual Volumes to Spectrum Control Base Edition by creating a user with the VASA Provider security role. Spectrum Control Base Edition provides communication between the VMware vSphere infrastructure and the system. Although the system administrator can complete certain actions on volumes and pools that are owned by the VASA Provider security role, Spectrum Control Base Edition retains management responsibility for Virtual Volumes. For information about Spectrum Control Base Edition, refer to the Spectrum Control Base Edition documentation.
