VMware Virtual Volumes and Multiple vCenter Servers
I have one EQ group that provides storage for two vCenters. I have VVols working on vCenter #1, but cannot create VVOLs from vCenter #2. I found this general post online and wonder if I can only provide one Container & VVol total and that's why I cannot create VVOLs from my second vCenter?
Today many vendors only support a single Storage Container which encompasses an entire storage array.
Today most vendors only support a single Protocol Endpoint for the entire storage array.

I do have a separate VSM deployed in each vCenter, but I cannot create a VVOL in the 2nd vCenter and thought it was a limitation, but must be some other problem. When I get back into the office I will send more information.

Thanks Donald! I re-registered the VASA and can create a VVOL now.
