The vSphere Plugin allows users that have permissions to edit vVol datastores.

Left-click the (1) datastore view in vSphere, right-click the (2) vVol datastore you want to edit, hover over (3) Everpure and finally left-click (4) Edit Datastore to open the edit datastore workflow.

Populate (1) Datastore Name, (2) Container Name and (3) Container Size then left-click (4) Submit. Datastore name will always be customizable as long as permissions in vCenter are correct, but if the FlashArray is on a Purity version less than 6.4.4, container name and container size will not be customizable because the default storage container for vVols can only be modified with a support case. Purity 6.4.4 introduced multiple storage containers; additional storage containers are customizable like the below screenshot.
