   • BCreate a storage container in PowerStore and assign it to the cluster; vCenter automatically provisions VMFS datastores from it.
   • CCreate a volume in PowerStore, map it to the ESXi hosts, then format it as VMFS from within vCenter using the Add Storage wizard.
   • DCreate an NFS export on PowerStore and mount it as a VMFS datastore from the ESXi host.
