Re: Management Plugin for vSphere: which vStorage API

Hi Friend,

vStorage API is a marketing term :

The VMware vStorage API is actually a blanket umbrella term that encompasses 4 separate individual APIs, all with different functionalities:

1. vStorage API for Data Protection (VADP)
2. vStorage API for Site Recovery Manager (VASRM)
3. vStorage API for Multi-pathing (VAMP)
4. vStorage API for Array Integration (VAAI)

Above blog explains nicely about vStorage APIs,
