In February 2016, this document was updated to add support for the 6.2 release of VSC. Some of the changes in this release that affect this document include the following:

VSC also supports VMware virtual volumes (VVOLs) for provisioning operations. You can use VASA Provider for clustered Data ONTAP to create and manage VVOLs. VVOLS accept storage capability profiles, which you can create and manage from the VASA Provider section of the VSC GUI. The VASA Provider for Clustered Data ONTAP User's Guide provides information for setting up and working with VVOLs.

Note: At this time, VSC does not support VVOLs for the following operations: back up, restore, clone, optimize, or migrate.
