Now that the VASA vendor provider has been added, the vVol-related information about the Dell Unity system can be passed to vSphere. This enables vVol datastores to be mounted to ESXi hosts for use. With the release of Dell Unity OE version 4.2, vVol datastores will be automatically mounted to ESXi hosts for use. Prior to Dell Unity OE version 4.2, vVol datastores will need to be manually added to the ESXi hosts. The administrator needs to add it using the New Datastore wizard in the vSphere Web Client. When adding the datastore, select the Type of VVOL, as shown in Figure 16.
This displays a list of vVol datastores that are currently available on the Dell Unity system. Select the appropriate datastore and provide a name to mount the vVol datastore to an ESXi host as shown in Figure 17. When the datastore has been mounted on one ESXi host, right-click the datastore to easily mount the same datastore to other ESXi hosts.
