Any existing storage capability profiles that were created before the 7.2 version of the virtual appliance for VSC, VASA Provider, and SRA cannot be modified.

You can select your storage system to have either the AFF or FAS platform type.

You can select whether you want to set traditional QoS policies or adaptive QoS policies for your storage system by using the Performance tab.
You can set the value for Max IOPS, which enables you to use the QoS functionality. When applied for a traditional datastore, a QoS policy with MAX IOPS value is created and assigned to a FlexVol volume. When applied for a virtual datastore, a QoS policy with MAX IOPS value is created for each data VVol.
You can use only the adaptive QoS policy type Value for a FAS storage type.
Note:
You must ensure that the performance metrics for VVol management are not set at an storage virtual machine (SVM) level, an aggregate level, or a FlexVol volume level.

Deduplication and compression are enabled by default for AFF storage and cannot be disabled.
