Can VCB Proxy see all luns on EMC SAN without being in Storage group

Is there a way for the VMware VCB Proxy as a host under EMC Navisphere, see all the SAN LUN's? We currently have several storage groups on our CX700 and the only way to get the VCB proxy server to see any LUN's is to add the host to one of the storage groups. How do I get the proxy server to see all LUN's in all sotorage groups? Once I add the proxy server host to one storage group, it's not available to add to another storage group. THanks...

You can add a host to multiple storage groups. When you go to add a host to a storage group, you need to pick from the dropdown "show hosts" at the top to show "include connected".

sorry, don't know EMC storage v. well - could you create a seperate storage group and add all the luns VCB needs to see to this rather than adding the VCB to the different storage groups?

Adding VCB proxy to the storage group with you ESX and Luns should work cause you are turning off the Diskpart automount command. You have to make sure in you Proxy that you only have one HBA cause dual and multi path is not supported .
