The DataCore Deployment Wizard registers the DataCore VASA Provider automatically to the vCenter server specified during the installation. Access the Storage Provider tab to verify the registration status. See DataCore VASA Provider Registration. |

In the vSphere Web Client, create vVol datastores on storage containers. Datastores are used to create virtual machines. See Creating Virtual Volume Datastores. |

In the vSphere Web Client, use the properties defined in the virtual disk templates to create virtual machine storage policies that match the capabilities of the storage containers (datastores). See Creating VM Storage Policies. |
