Dell MD Storage Array vCenter Plug-in | 6
Installation Prerequisites
To install and use the vCenter Plug-in, the following prerequisites must be met.
 The VMware vCenter 4.x server is installed
 One of the following servers is available to be the application server:
Windows 2003 server
Windows, 2003 R2 server
32-bit Windows 2008 server
64-bit Windows 2008 server
32-bit Windows 2008 R2 server
64-bit Windows 2008 R2 server
 Dell MD Storage Array with VMware certified firmware
 The vCenter Plug-in requires the following firmware versions:
7.35
7.60
7.70
7.75
7.77
Recommended Configurations
The vCenter Plug-in uses the SMI-S protocol to communicate with the storage arrays that are managed within
the vSphere infrastructure. Many procedure calls are made to obtain and send changes to the storage arrays,
which require large amounts of data to be passed between the storage arrays, the application server, and the
vSphere client. The number of managed storage arrays, the number of virtual disks, and the number of physical
disks on each storage array determine the overall performance of the vCenter Plug-in. Therefore, limit the
number of managed system components to the following:
 No more than 10 Dell MD series storage arrays
 No more than 256 objects, such as virtual disks, virtual disk copies, and snapshots, on each array
 No more than 16 remote replications
Downloading the vCenter Plug-in
Obtain the correct version of the Dell Storage vCenter Plug-in for your environment (x86 or x64) from the
Download and Drivers area at support.dell.com. See the Support Matrix at support.dell.com/manuals for the
most current versions. The file should be copied to the application server.
Installing the vCenter Application Server
Install the vCenter application server on a different Windows 2003 server or Windows 2008 server than the
VMware vCenter Server is installed on.

NOTE: When adequate resources are available on the vCenter Server system, you can install the
application server on the same host as the vCenter Server, but it is not recommended.
After you have downloaded the vCenter Plug-in software, copy the file to the system that will be the
application server. Run the vCenter Plug-in installer to launch the installation wizard. The installation wizard
installs a Jetty application server and the SMI-S provider. After the installation is complete, the installation
wizard registers the vCenter Plug-in with the vCenter Server.
During the installation process, you must provide information about the system components, such as the
storage array names, the IP addresses, and the DNS names, used during the installation.
Table 1 shows the
information required for each component.


NOTE: When you are upgrading from an earlier version of the vCenter Plug-in, and the storage arrays already have
passwords, re-enter the previous passwords in the updated version of the vCenter Plug-in for each storage array. You cannot
modify the storage arrays until the passwords have been re-entered.
Installing the vCenter Plug-in
1 Read the introduction screen and then click Next .
2 Read through the license agreement and if you accept the terms, select the appropriate radio button and
click
Next .
3 Select the local installation directory for the vCenter Plug-in manager or click Next for the default.
4 Review the installation details and click Install if the details are correct.
5 Change the port number of the Jetty server or accept the default of 8084 and 8081 and click Next .

NOTE: If the vCenter Plug-In will be installed on the same system as an active vCenter Server, and
VMware Update Manager is installed, the port number 8084 for the plug-in must be changed from the
default to an unused port number.
6 Change the IP address of the application server when desired. The IP address defaults to the IP address
of the system the installer is running on. Click
Next .
7 The next screen prompts you for the IP address of the vCenter server on which to install the vCenter
Plug-in. Enter the IP address of the vCenter server and click
Next .
8 Enter the Administrator's email address for alerts and click Next .
9 Enter the vCenter Administrator's User ID and click Next .
10 Enter the vCenter Administrator's password and click Next .
11 The installation is now complete. Click Done to close the installation wizard.
12 To verify that the application server was installed successfully, run the services.msc command, and
verify that the cimserver service was installed and that both the cimserver service and the Jetty6-Service
service have started.

NOTE: After the application server reboots, the name of the CIMOM service changes to Pegasus CIM Object Manager.

NOTE: In the event one of these services crash or is stopped, the CIMOM service must be started before the Jetty service or
no updates/modifications will occur.

Creating a New User Login
1 Connect the vCenter client directly to the ESX/ESXi host to be configured.
2 Select the User & Groups tab from Home->Inventory->Inventory window.
3 Right-click and select Add .
4 Supply the relevant information for the new user and make sure to select ' Grant shell access to this
user
' option.
5 Click OK to save changes.
6 After logging in as this new user, use the >su - command to assume super user role.
Installing the SAS Provider Upgrade
1 Either SFTP the vmware-esx-provider-lsi-provider.vib file to the target ESX host or
SCP the file to the target ESXi host.
2 Log in to the ESX/ESXi 4.1 host as root .

NOTE: If root is not enabled, log in as a shell-enabled user, and su to super user.
3 From the shell prompt, vmware -v to verify the version is 4.1.

NOTE: If root is not enabled, log in as a shell-enabled user, and su to super user.
4 Enter rpm -q lsi-provider for ESX or esxupdate --vib-view query | grep lsi-
provider
for ESXi hosts. The version listed should be: lsi-provider-410.04.V0.24-
140815
.
5 Enter esxupdate -b file:$PWD/vmware-esx-provider-lsi-provider.vib --
nodeps --nosigcheck --maintenancemode update
, this assumes the .vib file is located in
the same directory that
esxupdate is being executed from, if not, change $PWD to the directory where
the .vib file is located.
6 You should see Unpacking cross_lsi-provider, Installing lsi-provider, and Cleaning up lsi-provider
7 After the update finishes, enter esxupdate --vib-view query | grep lsi-provider .
You should see the following information:
 cross_lsi-provider_410.04.V0.24-260xxx pending,installed
 cross_lsi-provider_410.04.V0.24-140815 retired
8 Reboot the host after stopping any running VMs.
9 Upon reboot, verify that the update was applied with rpm -q lsi-provider for ESX or
esxupdate --vib-view query | grep lsi-provider for ESXi hosts.
