Storage APIs for Storage Awareness Features

The Storage APIs for Storage Awareness provide the following capabilities:

  • Native integration with supported hardware. These APIs are directly integrated with the supported disk arrays, enabling vSphere to work directly with the array without requiring additional software.
  • Disk array specific information and status. vSphere can gather information around specific array features (snapshot, dedupe, replication state, RAID levels, thin or thick provisioned, etc.) and status (health, troubleshooting, etc.).
  • Utilized in both the Storage DRS and Profile-Driven Storage features of vSphere.

Please consult your disk array vendor for more information about their integration with the Storage APIs for Storage Awareness.
