Configuring The Application Server And MD
vCenter Plug-In
Once the application server and MD vCenter Plug-in are installed, verify that the MD vCenter Plug-in is successfully
registered with the vCenter server:
•
Open the vSphere Client
•
From the vSphere Client menu bar, select Plug-ins → Manage Plug-ins
•
The Dell MD Storage Array vCenter Plug-in should be listed as Enabled
If the MD vCenter Plug-in is listed as disabled with an error message indicating that it cannot communicate with the
application server, verify the port number defined for the Jetty server is enabled to pass through any firewalls in use.
The default Jetty TCP port numbers are 8084 and 8081. The MD vCenter plug-in icon should also appear in the Solution
and Application section of the vSphere Client home page.

Configuring Storage Administrator Roles

read/write permissions to the storage arrays via the MD vCenter Plug-in, the user’s role must be modified.
