The Oracle vSphere Plug-In for Oracle Flash Storage Systems integrates access to your Oracle FS System with VMware vSphere and VMware vCenter Server. You can view, provision, and manage your Oracle FS System in the vSphere Client.
Virtualization technology permits you to easily create and deploy many virtual machines (VMs) in your datacenter infrastructure. However, managing those VMs and the storage environment to which they connect can be difficult.
To perform those tasks, you often must drill down to objects and make note of values in multiple pages. Then, you have to switch back and forth between the virtualization application interface and the storage application interface to locate the associated storage objects. Many environments contain a number of different storage products, so you could be switching between multiple storage application interfaces.
The Oracle vSphere Plug-In for Oracle Flash Storage Systems makes it easy to view and manage your storage without leaving the vSphere Client. The plug-in provides an additional tab in the vSphere Client to view Oracle FS System storage and additional menus to manage your Oracle FS System.
The Oracle FS System tab enables you to view details of your Oracle FS System, and context menus make it possible to provision and manage Oracle FS System storage objects. These features enable you to more easily map your datacenters and VMs to your physical storage and perform common storage management tasks.
