Dell Technologies Unisphere™, the graphical management interface for Dell Technologies Unity systems, can be used to present storage to all host servers. For vSphere hosts, Unisphere utilizes integration points to reduce required steps and perform several host-side functions. To take advantage of the integration point, the vSphere host, or vCenter environment must be imported into the Unisphere interface (this requires credentials for the vSphere host or the vCenter server). Once imported, the presentation of VMware VMFS, NFS, or vVol datastore storage from Unisphere results in mounted datastore(s) on the hosts. Additional information and detail can be found in the Dell Technologies Unity: Unisphere Overview and Dell Technologies Unity: Virtualization Integration white papers.
