About the Storage Administrator Portal

The Storage Administrator Portal for VMware vCenter enables you to configure arrays and
management servers for management by the Storage Module for vCenter.

For arrays that support provisioning, use the Storage Administrator Portal to assign access
permissions to storage pools. You can use the vSphere Client to perform storage provisioning
operations such as adding a new datastore, deleting or expanding an existing datastore, creating
new VMs, or cloning existing VMs on storage pools that are set to Full Access. For more information,
see

“Provisioning storage” (page 66)
