Hosts that run the VMware ESXi operating system

Fibre Channel attachments between the system and various guest host operating systems that run on the ESXi operating system have specific requirements and other guidelines that need to be followed.

Note: The system supports VMware vSphere Virtual Volumes that allow VMware vCenter to manage system objects like volumes and pools. Virtual Volumes provide storage that is used by specific virtual servers, and also correspond to single volumes on the system. The system administrator can assign ownership to VMware administrators to create the pools and volumes that are used exclusively for Virtual Volumes. For more information, see the information about configuring Virtual Volumes.
