navisphere agent on esxi

[tdubb123]

Do I need to install a navisphere agent on esxi for it to properly recognize the correct lun numbers that matches the ones in navisphere?

No - there is no navisphere agent for ESXi.

If you want to get that level of integration, use the EMC Virtual Storage Integration plugin thats free on powerlink.

in navisphere, all my esxi hosts are showing as manually registered and one shows

manually registered, Host agent not reachable. any idea?

thanks

VMware alwsays recognizes correct LUN numbers. As Matt  said, if you want EMC-VMware integration, you can always download *free* plugin for vCenter called VSI (Virtual Storage Integrator).

If you have problems downloading it - contact me in private messages.

i have VSI plugin installed. looking at one of the luns it has a different lun number than what its in navisphere.

I am just looking at the naa device id and comparing them but shows different lun numbers.

also in the EMC VSI tab/ under luns. I show an unknown Device ID and Type.

this is strange. in navisphere, it shows this

but when i try to add this lun in vsphere

it shows this

any idea? vsphere shows lun 0, but navi shows 61

[tdubb123]

this is from the vsi tab. it shows unknown status

Hi im looking on the powerlink site, which of the vsi plugins do you mean? VSI Storage Viewer , VSI Unified Storage Management, VSI Storage Pool Management, VSI Path Management?

thanks in advance
