Managing Virtual Volumes With Unisphere Central

VVols is VMware’s storage management and integration framework, which is designed to deliver a more ecient operational model for

attached storage. This framework encapsulates the les that make up a virtual machine (VM) and natively stores them as objects on an

array.

The VVols architecture enables granular storage capabilities to be advertised by the underlying storage. Storage containers, which dened

the available storage capabilities, can be created for vSphere Storage Policy-Based Management.
