Hi everyone, we're about to virtualize some physical servers

My idea, as they have some "larger" datadisks which already are on pure, was to user the vmware converter for the os disk (local drive) and use vvol for the data disks. I know I read a guide about it...
VMWARE

    If you ask me then I'd like to have two options: • graphical/manual option to clone and attach a physical LUN directly in a new vvol - problem might be the "info back into vmware". Or, as I already have a user that is arrayadmin (hint hint least privilege) for the storage provider and the network connection for the pure addon to the API is given - why not doing this process out of the vm world? • API option to do it for example with powershell (one module that does all the work).
