Virtualization Plug-In Integration Overview

Virtualization plug-in integration permits you to integrate various components into the virtualization environment. The Oracle VM Storage Connect Plug-In for Oracle Flash Storage Systems permits you to integrate access to your Oracle FS System with Oracle VM and Oracle Storage Connect software. You can access the provisioning and management capabilities of your Oracle FS System in the Oracle VM (GUI).

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.

Using the Oracle VM Storage Connect Plug-In for Oracle Flash Storage Systems makes it easy to view and manage your storage through an Oracle VM (GUI). Through the context menus, you can view and manage certain features of your Oracle FS System and other storage.

Note:

This release supports both the Oracle Axiom and Oracle FS System storage systems. Throughout this document, references to the Oracle FS System also apply to the Oracle Axiom unless specifically noted.

In this document, the Oracle VM Storage Connect Plug-In for Oracle Flash Storage Systems is also referred to as the plug-in.
