The new-datastore cmdlet does not currently allow for creating new VVol Datastores and so prolonged GUI interaction is required.

It depends on which storage you are trying to do this.

See also my reply in Re: Creating VVOL datastore using powerCLI

For Pure Storage for example Cody has written the createVVolVMDKsforSRM.ps1 script.

Dear Nawals
If you copy text from a PowerCLI Idea without attributing the original source, at least have the decency to not beg for points.

Awarding points for your Google prowess is not what this forum is about.

LucD​ - It's my bad. I was copied the source might I missed while pasting... Points not matter for me. It's matter how can help each other and share our knowledge/experiences. Thank You.
