This chapter describes the operating procedure of the VM administrator and the VM user in a VMware vSphere Virtual Volumes environment.
Note
When ETERNUS VASA Provider is stopped, the status of VVOL datastore on vSphere Web Client is offline.
After ETERNUS VASA Provider is restarted, the status of Storage Provider on vSphere Web Client may be Rescan Error. This is because VMware vCenter Server cannot recognize ETERNUS VASA Provider. Wait a few moments to execute Rescan and update the information.
In a case other than those above, if the status of Storage Provider becomes Rescan Error, multiple VMware vCenter Servers may manage a single ETERNUS VASA Provider. Check the ETERNUS VASA Provider registered status.
To manage a single ETERNUS VASA Provider with multiple VMware vCenter Servers, ETERNUS VASA Provider that supports Multi vCenter Server is required. Check the version of the ETERNUS VASA Provider. Refer to the ETERNUS VASA Provider manual for details about Multi vCenter Server.
Information
The vSphere Web Client operating procedures and the terms described in this chapter may vary with the version level of vSphere.
