    Hi Bob,
    Could you explain what the significance of the LUN correlation is in this release?  Is this the ability to report from VM's using a data store right down to the LUN detailing useful metrics?  I noticed vVol's are not supported yet, is this coming down the line?
    We have had a customer asking about something similar, so I am keen to understand some more.
    Thanks
    Adam

    Hi Adam. Regarding your question: Is this the ability to report from VM's using a data store right down to the LUN detailing useful metrics?  Spectrum control development conveyed this "Correct: such correlation from subsystem to datastore to VM using the storage will be missing.  In terms of useful metrics-wise, they will be mostly capacity data.  You can also post to the # control-help channel on Slack to get further information and feedback.
