Relationship between VM and Storage Volume during Storage Discovery

[Mitali Sahoo]

Problem: Discovery of vCenter and SAN/NFS storage clusters fails to build the relationship between the VMs and the storage volumes.

Resolution: We don't create any DIRECT relationship between these 2 entities.
So, if there is a need to find a relationship, you have to traverse through the following way:
VM -> Datastore -> Datastore_disk -> FC disk -> Storage volume (or Vice-versa.)

Hi Mitali,

Any specific reason why we don't create a direct relationship between these 2 entities.

Thanks
