Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance Provider for VMware vSphere APIs for Storage Awarenessis a software component that supports the VMware vStorage APIs for Storage Awareness framework. The provider collects data from appliances and delivers information about storage topology, LUNs, and shares to the vCenter Server, enabling it to monitor the storage systems. The provider uses the REST API over HTTPS to collect the storage information. This product communicates with the clients (vCenter servers) through SOAP over HTTPS. The provider is capable of serving multiple storage appliances and multiple vCenter servers.
The provider is delivered as a virtual machine template image where the provider software is pre-installed and configured. The provider software runs from the virtual machine once the virtual template is deployed in the vSphere environment.
