NetApp VSC Tasks

This chapter contains the following sections:

Clone VMs using VSC

Summary
Specified number of VMS will be cloned on selecting the existing VM in the vCenter server using VSC.
Description
This task will clone the number of specified VMs using the VSC on the Host where the selected VM present in the vCenter Server. Task will list only the powered off VMs where the clone operation will be performd on only powered off VMs. This task will work only for ONTAP accounts.

Create Datastore using VSC

Summary
Create a datastore either of type VMFS or NFS in the vCenter server using VSC.
Description
This task will create a datastore either of type VMFS or NFS on Datacenter/Host based on the selection in a vCenter Server using VSC. If we choose NFS option, the VSC will automatically create a Volume under the selected Aggregate and mounted the volume as NFS datastore in the UNIX system with the specified name in the vCenter Server. If we choose VMFS option, the VSC will aumtoamtically create a LUN under the selected Volume and mapped the LUN as VMFS datastore in the WINDOWS system with the specified name. This task will work only for ONTAP accounts.

Resize Datastore using NetApp VSC

Summary
Datastore can be resized using the VSC.
Description
This task resizes the datastore in the vCenter server which is mapped the storage target either NFS Volume or VMFS LUN to the Storage system by the VSC pluggined to the vCenter Server. we can either increase or decrease the datastore of type NFS exported as volume, but the we cannot decrease the datatstore of type VMFS mapped to storage target as LUN. This task will work only for ONTAP accounts.
