For provisioning operations that involve virtualized resources in a virtual storage machine, you can perform provisioning operations that specify conventional physical resources or virtualized resources. LDEVs managed by virtual IDs contain two LDEV IDs with actual information and virtual information. As shown in the following figure, for example, provisioning operations in which "LDEV ID:10:00" is specified can be performed by using any software, but provisioning operations in which "Virtual ID(LDEV ID): 20:00" is specified are limited.
You can use CCI and REST API to perform operations with virtual storage machines.
