Virtual Infrastructure Storage Pod APIs

Virtual Infrastructure Storage Pod APIs

The StoragePod data object aggregates the storage resources of associated Datastore objects into a single storage resource for use by virtual machines.

The storage services such as Storage DRS (Distributed Resource Scheduling), enhance the utility of the storage pod.

Use the Folder.CreateStoragePod method to create an instance of this object.
