NOTE:

The more Storage Centers and volumes managed by the Storage Manager user, the longer it takes to display the Dell

Storage page.

If the credentials are incorrect, a Connection Manager error dialog box opens.

DSITV Upgrade Installation

After a successful upgrade of the DSITV appliance, a reboot is required. You then must unregister and reregister the Dell Storage vSphere

Web Client Plugin from the DSITV appliance’s CLI menu. This action removes the old plugin and registers the new plugin to vCenter.

After performing these steps, if the Dell Storage icon does not appear in the vSphere Web Client, restart the vSphere Web Client service.

See the Dell Storage Integration Tools for VMware for vSphere Web Client Plugin installation and troubleshooting information.

Managing the vSphere Web Client Plugin

The following sections describe how to manage vCenter and Storage Manager credentials, display Storage Center and FluidFS cluster

information, and disable or enable the vSphere Web Client Plugin.

Changing vCenter and Storage Manager Credentials

If the credentials change for the Storage Manager user defined in the vSphere Web Client Plugin, update the credentials on the Manage

tab of the Dell Storage page.

Prerequisites
