When configuring a logical volume, you can select a collection of predefined properties to apply to that volume. This collection of properties is called a Storage Profile.
Either you can use a profile that you previously created in the Oracle FS System Manager (GUI) for the Oracle FS System, or you can select one of the preconfigured profiles.
The vSphere Plug-In interface allows you to see the composition of the available Storage Profiles while creating new storage volumes so that you can make an informed choice when selecting a profile. Unlike the Oracle FS System Manager, the GUI for the vSphere Plug-In does not permit the creation of new Storage Profiles.
