I have just spent today installing and configuring the EMC VASA Provider to enable the storage capabilities to show for our SANs.
I have been through the EMC documentation for implementing VASA, the VMware documentations about storage vendors as well as several blog posts about how to set up and configure VASA.
As far as I'm aware I have done everything necessary and it should all be working ok.
I have the Storage Providers added and registered with vCenter.
I have the Storage Capabilities showing in the Storage Profiles view and I have created a couple Storage Profiles based on the system storage capabilities and tested assigning a profile to a VM guest.
However, the one thing I don't have is any system storage capabilities showing up for any of my datastores.
All of my datastores show N/A for their system storage capabilities and I was expecting them to show as either the SATA Storage or Fibre Storage capabilities that my SAN is presenting to the storage profiles.
None of the guides or documentation mention anything about how to get those capabilities showing on the datastores so I assume that means they would display their capabilities as soon as the storage provider was configured but they aren't.
It feels like I'm missing an important step somewhere but I'm not sure what that might be.
I have installed Solutions Enabler 7.6 with SMI-S Provider 4.6.1 on my SAN management server.
How do I get my datastore storage capabilities showing correctly?
