Post subject:  New VMware storage policy rules ....

Hi,

We just upgraded a Primera to 4.5.11.14, and with that upgrade came a bunch of extra rules with the storage provider ... and of course zero documentation on them ... anyone know what these are for ?:

com.hpe.primera.spbm.capabilityMetadata.snapSched.snapSchedmin.summary.label
com.hpe.primera.spbm.capabilityMetadata.propertyMetadata.snapSched.startTime.summary.label
com.hpe.primera.spbm.capabilityMetadata.propertyMetadata.snapSched.endTime.summary.label
com.hpe.primera.spbm.capabilityMetadata.propertyMetadata.snapSched.snapshotFrequency.summary.label
com.hpe.primera.spbm.capabilityMetadata.propertyMetadata.snapSched.days.summary.label

I think it has to do with the snapspace_accounting task that gets run everytime a change is made to a VM on VVols, wondering if it does such things on a schedule rather than every 2 seconds as I see it now on our arrays.

Anyone know ? Theories ?

According to the Release Notes ( https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/docDisplay?docId=sd00002178en_us&page=GUID-623AAE41-E05D-4043-8F8B-BC0B11D12BE0.html), one of the changes in the new code

enables Snaphot Schedule capability in VASA Provider through Storage Policy Based Management


But that's all there is about this new trick.
