Configuring virtual volume datastores : Considerations for creating and editing storage capability profiles


Considerations for creating and editing storage capability profiles
You should be aware of the considerations for creating and editing storage capability profiles.
You can configure QoS metrics at a virtual volume (VVol) level.
This capability provides greater flexibility in assigning varied QoS metrics for different VMDKs of the same virtual machine that is provisioned on a virtual datastore.
You cannot modify existing storage capability profiles after upgrading from an earlier version of the virtual appliance for Virtual Storage Console (VSC), VASA Provider, and Storage Replication Adapter (SRA) to the 7.2 version of the virtual appliance for VSC, VASA Provider, and SRA.
The legacy storage capability profiles are retained for backward compatibility. If the default templates are not in use, then during the upgrade to the latest version of the virtual appliance for VSC, VASA Provider, and SRA, the existing templates are overridden to reflect the new QoS metrics related to the performance of the storage capability profiles.
