Volume parameters available to the vSphere CSI Driver will be dependent upon options exposed through the vSphere SPBM and may not include all volume features available. Please refer to the [HPE Primera: VMware ESXi Implementation Guide](https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/docDisplay?docLocale=en_US&docId=emr_na-a00088903en_us) or [VMware vSphere Virtual Volumes on HPE Nimble Storage Implementation Guide](https://psnow.ext.hpe.com/doc/a00044881enw) for list of available features. <br /> <br /> For a list of available volume parameters in the HPE CSI Driver for Kubernetes, refer to the respective [CSP](../../container_storage_provider/index.md).

<sup>1</sup> = Feature comparison based upon HPE CSI Driver for Kubernetes v2.1.1 and the vSphere CSI Driver v2.4.1<br />
<sup>2</sup> = HPE and VMware fully support features listed as GA for their respective CSI drivers.<br />
<sup>3</sup> = The HPE Remote Copy Peer Persistence feature of the HPE CSI Driver for Kubernetes is only available with HPE Alletra 9000 and Primera storage systems.
<sup>3</sup> = The HPE Remote Copy Peer Persistence feature of the HPE CSI Driver for Kubernetes is only available with HPE Alletra 9000 and Primera storage systems.<br />
<sup>4</sup> = Peer Persistence is an HPE Storage specific platform feature that isn't abstracted up the vSphere CSI Driver. Peer Persistence works with the vSphere CSI Driver when using VMFS datastores.
