    As we are aware that VMM 2012 does support storage without SMI-S providers. How does this affect the Private Cloud deployment.

    Any Thoughts.

    Thank You

    You will have some limitations regarding storage management. Allthough the storage information from the hosts - connected to the shared storage will be exposed in VMM, so you will have an OK view of the configuration, available storage, how it`s mapped and so on, you`ll have to create LUNs and so on by using the management tool for your storage. 

    In a cluster environment if you have connected and provisioned some storage for your clusters/hosts, you can do some limited administration related to this by using VMM, like assigning available storage to your clusters/hosts and also convert til CSV.

    functionality has its price, so it`s not expected that everyone will have access to a SMI-S storage in the first place.
