After all the sound and fury, when will VVOL start to rock?
The truth is...it's complicated Comment VMware virtual machines need storage and VVOLs (Virtual Volumes) are a way of automating this process, avoiding delay as VMware admins talk to storage admins to get storage provisioned. Virtually all storage array vendors support VVOLs yet the facility has not been taken up by users' data centres in any large scale. This poses the obvious question; why not?"
