If you are using VMware vCenter host as your computing infrastructure, the OpenStack vCenter Storage Infrastructure dashboard displays the data stores in your environment.

If you are not using vCenter as your computing infrastructure, VMware Aria Operations can not access data about the storage devices registered with OpenStack, and the OpenStack vCenter Storage Infrastructure dashboard does not display data.
