Resolving A Password Mismatch Between The MD Storage Array And The vCenter Plug-In
If the MD vCenter Plug-in password and the storage array password do not match, you can still run
passive, read-only commands (such as Read and View) on the storage array. However, active read/write
commands (such as Create and Delete) will fail. The MD vCenter Plug-in will display the properties of the
storage array whether passwords match or not.
Summary View
When a storage array is selected under the All Storage Arrays view on the left side of the plug-in window,
the Summary tab displays information for that array, including array name, status of the storage array, the
number of controllers, the number of failed controllers, the number of drive trays, the number of disks,
disk types, hot spares, and capacity usage. The storage array Summary tab also provides the following
functions:
• Edit Storage Array
• View Event Log
• Refresh
• Automatically Save Configuration
• Manually Save Configuration
