Expand vVols datastore

Contributors netapp-jani

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 based vVols datastore.
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.
