Storage: Storage Containers

Thank you for your feedback!

You can use a storage container to present vVol storage from PowerStore to vSphere. vSphere mounts the storage container as a vVol datastore and makes it available for VM storage. In PowerStoreOS versions 3.0 and later, storage containers are classified as either SCSI or NVMe. This classification dictates the storage protocol that they support. In previous versions of PowerStoreOS, all storage containers were considered SCSI by default. A storage container spans all appliances in the cluster and uses storage from each. The specific appliance that a given vVol resides on is visible in PowerStore Manager, and you can migrate a vVol between appliances in the same cluster. Use the Storage > Storage Containers page (Figure 24) to create and manage storage containers within PowerStore Manager.
