Creating VVOL datastore using powerCLI

Does powerCLI supports creation of a vvol datastore? If so, which cmdlet does it?

Not at this point in time I'm afraid.

You will need functionality from the storage medium to create a storage array.

Then you can create a VVOL datastore on that array (see the CreateVvolDatastore method)

From the user point of view it presents itself as a regular datastore, and you can use it with PowerCLI cmdlets (for example New-VM) that require you to provide a Datastore.
