7 Dell EMC SC Series and VMware vSphere Virtual Volumes Best Practices | 3161-BP-SC
Note: Dell Storage Manager is an enterprise application. To maintain Virtual Volumes functionality and data
availability, DSM, the VASA Provider, and its metadata must be made highly available by leveraging an
external database. If the VASA Provider is impacted by a planned or unplanned outage (including network
and database availability), vVol related operations will be impacted. This includes changing the installation of
DSM (for example: uninstalling or reinstalling, or migrating the database that contains statistics and
metadata). For any questions or concerns, or prior to making any changes impacting the VASA Provider in a
production environment, contact Dell SupportAssist (see appendix A).
