IBM Storage Management Console for VMware vCenter

The IBM Storage Management Console for VMware vCenter is a software plug-in that integrates into the VMware vCenter server platform and enables VMware administrators to independently and centrally manage their storage resources on IBM storage systems. Depending on the IBM storage system in use, administrators can self-provision volumes (LUNs) in selected predefined storage pools, or self-provision file shares in selected predefined file systems. The volumes or file shares are mapped to VMware ESX hosts, clusters, or datacenters as logical drives that can be used for storing VMware datastores (virtual machine data containers).
