4.5 Storage container expansion
Aside from leveraging vSphere SPBM, there is very little to managing storage containers or protocol
endpoints on a day-to-day basis. One exception might be expanding the storage container for growth.
Storage containers can be grown by right clicking on the storage container from the Servers view in DSM and
choosing Expand Datastore. Much like VMFS datastore expansion, storage containers can expanded on the
fly.

4.6 Update Information in Dell Storage Manager
The Servers view in Dell Storage Manager is periodically updated with inventory changes which occur in
vSphere with respect to clusters, hosts, datastores, storage containers, and virtual machines. Recent
changes can be learned immediately in DSM by selecting the vCenter Server with a right mouse click and
choosing the Update Information feature.
