EMC have made their plugin for VirtualCenter/vCenter available here
In the same place are instructions for use and a readme which states:
The objective of the EMC® Storage Viewer for Virtual Infrastructure Client is to provide a new tool that facilitates discovery and identification of EMC storage devices which are allocated to VMware ESX servers and virtual machines.
This brings the storage details up the to user through the VI Client interface, merging all of the functionality of several different tools that perform storage mapping-related functions into a single tool that integrates seamlessly with the VI Client.
Using a plug-in to the VI Client management interface, ESX Server Datastores and VMFS virtual disks are resolved to the underlying storage array target and LUN assignments.
Be aware that this will only work for VirtualCenter 2.5u2 and 2.5u3, not u4 though there is a work-around in the readme.
Cheers,
Leo
Hi Leo,
you mention that the readme contains a workaround for VC2.5 U4, but I can’t seem to find it. Can you specify what the workaround is ?
Grtz, Peter
The workaround is to install an older 2.5 U2 or U3 client on a workstation in an environment that’s been upgraded, until a new plugin version comes out that supports 2.5 U4
[...] (in turn derived from these notes by Cody at ProfessionalVMware), a rant on CDP support in ESX, and a note about the EMC Storage Viewer plugin. Good work, [...]
Leo – I’m happy to say that v1.1 of the EMC Storage Viewer is available which adds a bunch of stuff, and also supports U3 and U4. Working on vSphere support now – stay tuned, it will be soon!
Hi Leo,
Is there a way to export to TXT or CSV the screen output ?
Thx,
