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 Connect by creating a user with the VASA Provider security role. Spectrum Connect 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 Connect retains management responsibility for Virtual Volumes. For information about Spectrum Connect, refer to the Spectrum Connect documentation.
