VI API is a Web Service and XML interface focused on management of virtual machines and ESX server configuration.
VCB offers command-line tools to integrate with backup products on SAN.
The VDDK is focused on efficient access and transfer of data on virtual disk storage. The VDDK can be used in conjunction with other APIs to offer a complete integrated solution for management of virtual infrastructure.
Dynamic disks were first introduced with Windows 2000 and provide features that basic disks do not, such as the ability to create volumes that span multiple disks spanned and striped volumes, and the ability to create fault tolerant volumes mirrored and RAID-5 volumes.
Dynamic disks offer greater flexibility for volume management because they use a database to track information about dynamic volumes on the disk and about other dynamic disks in the computer. Because each dynamic disk in a computer stores a replica of the dynamic disk database, Windows Server 2003 can repair a corrupted database on one dynamic disk by using the database on another dynamic disk.

I am unsure as to why this is done at the OS level.

Arggh. Another PSU bites the dust.
The user maint is able to go everywhere. This is the user that you should use after setting passwd-master. You set the password at Linux prompt using:

It’s assumed you already have a server with a base CentOS installation before you begin. Do NOT install a GUI such as Gnome or KDE. We only want to be running in console text mode not GUI graphics mode. If you already have a desktop or server GUI installed you will want to exit to console mode. You do that by typing init 3 from a terminal or console window. You will need to be logged in as root in order to do this so if not you can su root. All instructions in this guide are assuming you are always logged in as root running in level 3 console text mode.
