vSphere 5.5 User Defined Storage Capability

[scotty_p]

Is it possible to create a user-defined Storage Capability in vSphere 5.5?

I'm trying to create a Storage Policy and when I get to the 'Rule Set 1' section, the only option for capabilities is 'None'. I remember in 5.0 in the VI Client, there was an option to "Manage Storage Capabilities" and create a user-defined capability. Is this an option in 5.5 in the web client?

Thanks,

Scott

I think I just found this. Tags is what I was missing. Looks like this is what user-defined storage capabilities turned into?
