how to connect VMWare to a windows ScaleIO cluster?
Doing a P.O.C. with ScaleIO deployed on 3 Windows Server 2012 servers. They are up and running, GUI is working, storage is available. Next hurdle - how do I present the storage to a VMware cluster? I am guessing that I need to install a driver or connector on the ESXi 6 host, but I'm not clear if that's right, and if it is, how to do it.

You need to install the SDC driver on the ESXi host, then map the volume to the SDC.

Please refer to the user guide / installation guide on how to install SDC on ESX and configure the module params using drv_cfg utility (to configure the GUID + MDM IPs).
Steps are:
esxcli software vib install -f -d
then run:esxcli system module parameters set -m scini -p
"IoctlIniGuidStr= IoctlMdmIPStr=
validate the settings appears in the output of the following command:
cat /etc/vmware/esx.conf |grep scini
reboot the ESX

Do I need the SVMs when I just want to use ESX as a SDC?
If not: What are the additional steps to "see" an SCIO datastore in ESX?
Many thanks in advance.
