Bringing Storage Arrays Under VASA Management
Before you can use the capabilities of the VASA provider to manage your MD storage arrays, you need to do two things:
1. Add your storage arrays to VASA control (using VASA's Array Manager).
2. Register the VASA provider with your vSphere Client.
Adding Your Storage Arrays To VASA Control
1. From VASA's Configuration Manager, click Launch Array Manager. Alternately, you can start the array manager via
URL: http://<host_address>:8080/arraytree.
NOTE: If using static IP addressing, substitute a standard IP address for <host_address> . If using DHCP,
substitute a DNS name for <host_address>
