Configuring datastores : Provisioning datastores
|
•
|
To provision a datastore on a storage virtual machine (SVM) that is directly connected to Virtual Storage Console (VSC), you must have added the SVM to VSC by using a user account that has the appropriate privileges, not the default vsadmin user account or vsadmin role.

|
If you use NFS or iSCSI and the subnet is different between your ESXi hosts and your storage system, the NFS settings or iSCSI settings in the kaminoprefs preferences file must include the ESXi host subnet masks.

Defines the aggregate on which you want to create a new volume. If you selected an SVM that is directly connected to VSC, striped aggregates appear as available; however, they are not supported. Provisioning to a striped aggregate will fail.

(Recommended) Specifies an existing storage capability profile that the wizard will use when defining the type of storage that you require for your virtual machines. The storage capability profile determines the following storage features: space reservation, deduplication, compression, encryption, and tiering policy. Storage capability profiles are available only if you have installed and registered VASA Provider for ONTAP. You can select a default storage capability profile that ships with VASA Provider, a profile that you created, or a profile that was auto-generated. To provision a datastore without a storage capability profile, you should select None.
