You can create storage containers in the Element UI and discover them in vCenter. You must create at least one storage container to begin provisioning VVol-backed virtual machines.
Before you begin
You have enabled VVols functionality in the Element UI for the cluster.
Procedure
-
Select .
- Click the Create Storage Containers button.
- Enter storage container information in the Create a New Storage Container dialog box:
- Enter a name for the storage container.
- Configure initiator and target secrets for CHAP.
Tip: Leave the CHAP Settings fields blank to automatically generate secrets.
- Click the Create Storage Container button.
- Verify that the new storage container appears in the list in the Storage Containers sub-tab.
Note: Because a NetApp Element account ID is created automatically and assigned to the storage container, it is not necessary to manually create an account.
