Hi,

We have just GA’d VSI (Virtual Storage Integrator) 6.3

If you are an XtremIO customer, this is a must (free to install / free to upgrade) tool,

New to this version are the following abilities:

1. The ability to apply the ESXi / XtremIO best practices directly from the vCenter interface, no longer need to mess with cli commands!

2. the ability to extend an XtremIO volume that was formatted to VMFS

3. The ability to run space reclamation at the datastore level while using the applicable “-n” parameter that is recommended by us for XtremIO array, this is by far my favorite feature for this release as it allow you to invoke space reclamation (at the datastore level) directly from within vCenter.

As always, download it from support.emc.com

here’s a demo showing ALL the integration points of VSI and XtremIO
