Table of Contents: vSphere Virtual Volumes with Pure Storage User Guide
VMware’s vSphere Virtual Volume (vVol) paradigm, introduced in vSphere version 6.0, is a storage technology that provides policy-based, granular storage configuration and control of virtual machines (VMs). Through API-based interaction with an underlying array, VMware administrators can maintain storage configuration compliance using only native VMware interfaces. Here is the User Guide's Table of Contents for Implementing vVols with the Pure Storage FlashArray.
