Using the IBM Storage Enhancements for VMware vSphere Web Client

Together with supported IBM® storage systems that are managed by Spectrum Connect, the deployed IBM Storage Enhancements enable the following management features on vSphere Web Client for registered vCenter servers:

• Full control over storage volumes, including volume creation, resizing, renaming, mapping, unmapping, multipath policy enforcement, and deletion.
• Easy and integrated allocation of volumes to VMware datastores, used by virtual machines that run on ESXi hosts, clusters, or datacenters.
  Note:

  • The IBM Storage Enhancements are automatically deployed and made available for the vCenter servers that were registered (added) on IBM Spectrum Connect (see Adding a vCenter server).
  • For information about the required vSphere user privileges, see Required vSphere privileges.
