4 Logging In and Working with Virtual Volumes
The HP 3PAR Management Plug-in for VMware vCenter is used for viewing virtual volume mapping.
You can also create and expose virtual volumes to an ESX host based on a template where you
fill in the details or based on the provisioning configuration of an existing Datastore. This chapter
explains how to log, view information about virtual volume mapping, and how to create new virtual
volumes.

supports Microsoft Internet Explorer as the Windows default browser.
