Click Add NVMe Storage.
In the Add NVMe Storage dialog, set the following parameters:

You can add NVMe LUNs as SAN storage or pass through them to a virtual machine. LUNs that have been added as SAN storage cannot be passed through to a virtual machine.

To add NVMe LUNs as SAN storage, see Add a SAN Storage.
To pass through LUNs to a virtual machine through RDM disks, see Create a New Virtual Machine.
