When you right-click on the datastore object in the vCenter object view, ONTAP tools for VMware vSphere supported actions are shown under the plug-in section. Specific actions are enabled depending on the type of datastore and the current user privileges.

Note Expand vVols datastore operation is not applicable for ASA r2 system-based vVols datastores.
Steps

  1. From the vSphere Client home page, select Hosts and Clusters.

  2. In the navigation pane, select the data center that contains the datastore.

  3. Right-click the datastore and select NetApp ONTAP tools > Add storage to datastore.

  4. In the create or Select Volumes window, you can either create new volumes or choose from the existing volumes. The user interface is self-explanatory. Follow the instructions as per your choice.

  5. In the Summary window, review the selections and select Expand. You can track the progress in the recent tasks panel.
