SMI-S and SCVMM2012

[vloiseau]

Hi,

Is there any best practice guide for using SCVMM 2012 With SMI-S ?

Can we create a  virtualdisk in a LUN of a volume of a Storage Pool or just see it ? If so, do we have the same storage optimization when creating/cloning virtualdisk in a LUN of a volume of a Storage Pool that we have with powershell commandlet from OCPM 3.1 or Powershell toolkit ? Do we have to declare some provisionning or cloning options to make a space efficient and properly aligned vhd ?

Have you any demo to show ?

Thanks.

This is not the good TR number, have you the correct one ?

There is updated TR-4170 available via Field Portal:

This TR is for OCPM, not SMI-S.

vloiseau - I will find the correct TR for SMI-S. For some reason it is not showing up in the Field Portal. Once I find it, I will post the link here.

Thanks.

Hi, please find TR-3874 (System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2012 and NetApp Data ONTAP SMI-S Agent). This should help with your questions.
