This is the workflow for getting started with NVMe-vVols with a FlashArray running Purity//FA 6.6.2 or later. The process will require the follow:
- ESXi hosts and vCenter Server running 8.0 U1 or later
- FlashArray running Purity//FA 6.6.2 or later
- ESXi hosts configured to use NVMe-oF with TCP or FC
- FlashArray configured to use NVMe-oF with TCP or FC
- The unique ESXi host's NQN for vVols
- Create host object on FlashArray with the unique NQN
- Create a new Pod on the FlashArray
- Create a new Protocol Endpoint in the new Pod
- Connect the Protocol Endpoint to the host objects with the unique NQN
- Rescan Storage Providers in vCenter
- Create vVol Datastore with the NVMe Storage Container
