VVol scalability

The following details the VVol scalability limits:

Table 33 VVol-specific scalability

Requirement

Value

Number of VVols/Array

64,000

Number of Snapshots/Virtual Machine

Number of Storage Containers/Array

Number of Protocol Endpoints/Array

1/ESXi Host

Maximum number of Protocol Endpoints/
Array

1,024

Number of arrays supported /VP

Number of vCenters/VP

Maximum device size

16 TB

VVol Snapshots can only be managed through vSphere. They cannot be created through
Unisphere or Solutions Enabler.

VVol workflow

Before you begin

Install and configure following EMC applications:

Unisphere for VMAX V8.2 or higher

Solutions Enabler CLI V8.2 or higher

VASA Provider V8.2 or higher

For instructions on installing Unisphere and Solutions Enabler, refer to their respective
installation guides. For instructions on installing the VASA Provider, refer to the

EMC

VMAX VASA Provider Release Notes

The steps required to create a VVol-based virtual machine are broken up by role:

Procedure

1. The VMAX Storage Administrator, uses either Unisphere for VMAX or Solutions

Enabler to create and present the storage to the VMware environment:

a. Create one or more storage containers on the storage array. This step

defines how much storage and from which Service Level the VMware user
can provision.

b. Create Protocol Endpoints and provision them to the ESXi hosts.

2. The VMware Administrator, uses the vSphere Web Client to deploy the VM on

the storage array:

a. Add the VASA Provider to the vCenter. This allows vCenter to communicate

with the storage array.

b. Create VVol datastore from the storage container.
