SVC vSphere Plug-in supporting vdisk mirror

The vSpehere Plug-in for VMware should be enhance so that the admin using the plug-in will be able t specify more detailed properties when creating a vdisk on SVC. Especially the definition of vdisk mirroring is important because we use SVC Split Cluster in many VMware environments, and here vdisk mirror is required.

A good solution would also be if the storage administrator could setup the vSphere plugin in a way that provisiong templates are created where is it defined what SVC properties will be used when a vdisk is created, so this might be a combination ob the vSphere Plugin and the VASA support for SVC.
