Storage Views tab not appearing in my vCenter - New Installation

Hello All...I am hoping someone could tell me what I am missing, I have been reading about the new Storage Views tab in vCenter 4 and I just noticed that I do not have a tab like this available. I am running ESXi 4 U1 and vCenter u1. Any ideas as to why this may be?? thanks!!

Did you check if the “vCenter Storage Monitoring” plugin is enabled?

I am having some trouble finding that option...what do you need to do to enable this plugin??

Thanks!

When I check for plugins the storage monitoring plugin is not listed as an available plugin. Where can I install that plugin from??

Edit- On a fresh VIC install on my Win7 laptop the plugin is loaded and working. Must be something wrong with my install on my other machine. I guess I will uninstall and reinstall and see if that fixes it.

Try to use the client with a RDP connection to vCenter Server.

Just to see if it works.

In most cases the problem is in vCenter name resolution.
