vCenter Server 6.0 – Platform Services Controller
Platform Services Controller
Platform Services Controller
includes takes it beyond just
Single Sign-On. It groups:
 Single Sign-On (SSO)
 Licensing
Two Deployment Models:
• Embedded
 vCenter Server and Platform Services Controller in one virtual machine
- Recommended for small deployments where there is less then two SSO
integrated solutions
• External
 vCenter Server and Platform Services Controller in their own virtual
machines
- Recommended for most deployments where there are two or more SSO
integrated solutions
 Certificate Authority

vCenter Server Features - Enhanced Capabilities
Overview
• Scalability supported by both Windows Install and
vCenter Server appliance.
• Windows install supports embedded Postgres and
External SQL and Oracle DBs.
• vCSA supports embedded Postgres and external
Oracle DBs.

An Overview Of vSphere Virtual Volumes
Management & Integration Framework for External Storage
The Basics
Virtual
Volumes
• Virtualizes SAN and NAS devices
• Virtual disks are natively represented on arrays
• Enables finer control with VM level storage
operations using array-based data services
• Storage Policy-Based Management enables
automated consumption at scale
• Supports existing storage I/O protocols (FC, iSCSI,
NFS)
• Industry-wide initiative supported by major storage
vendors
• Included with vSphere

Characteristics
Virtual Volumes
VASA Provider
•
Software component developed by Storage
Array Vendors
•
ESX and vCenter Server connect to VASA
Provider
•
Provides Storage awareness services
•
Single VASA Provider can manage multiple
arrays
•
Supports VASA APIs exported by ESX
•
VASA Provider can be implemented within
the array’s management server or firmware
•
Responsible for creating Virtual Volumes
Protocol Endpoints (PE)
Why Protocol Endpoints?
• Separate the access points from the storage
itself
• Can have fewer access points
Virtual Volumes
What are Protocol Endpoints?
PE
VASA Provider
• Access points that enables communication
between ESXi hosts and storage array systems.
• Part of the physical storage fabric
• Created by Storage administrators
• Compatible with all SAN and NAS Protocols:
-
iSCSI
NFS v3
FC

vSphere 6.0 - Storage Container (SC)
Do I still need to create Datastores?

Storage Container (SC)
What are Storage Containers?
• Logical storage constructs for grouping of

Virtual Volumes
virtual volumes.
• Setup by Storage administrators
• Capacity is based on physical storage
capacity
• Logically partition or isolate VMs with diverse
storage needs and requirement
• Minimum one storage container per array
• Maximum depends on the array
• A single Storage Container can be
simultaneously accessed via multiple

•
ESX manages Array through VASA
(vSphere APIs for Storage
Awareness) APIs.
•
Arrays are logically partitioned into
containers, called Storage
Containers
•
VM disks, called Virtual Volumes,
stored natively on the Storage
Containers.
•
IO from ESX to array is addressed
through an access point called,
Protocol Endpoint (PE)
•
Data Services are offloaded to the
array
