Fujitsu ETERNUS DX100 S3 - Figure 78 VVOL (Operational Configuration)

VMware VVOL
The ETERNUS DX
supports Virtual Volumes (VVOLs) that are VMware vSphere dedicated logical
volumes.
When using VVOLs, they are automatically created and copied in the ETERNUS DX while VMs are
operated from vSphere Client. As a result, operations can be simplified by eliminating the need to
configure logical volumes and backups in the storage system.
■
Operational Configuration
VVOL configuration and management are performed from ETERNUS SF Storage Cruiser. ETERNUS
VASA Provider (software) is required in the storage management server to coordinate vSphere with
the ETERNUS DX. For details on ETERNUS VASA Provider, refer to "VMware Linkage" (page 134).
