Preparatory Work
To use a virtual machine in a VMware vSphere Virtual Volumes environment, the following preparations are required:
Registration of VVOL Datastores
Register the VVOL datastore created by the storage administrator on the VM host.
Creation of Policy
Create policies corresponding to the operational purpose.
Creating Virtual Machine
By specifying the created policy, VVOL datastores that satisfy this policy can be listed. If you select the VVOL datastore that you want to use from among these, a Virtual Volume is created on this datastore and is set according to the policy.
Point
In addition to creating a virtual machine, specify a policy for the various operations that need to select the VVOL datastores such as virtual machine clones and Storage vMotion.
