VNX5300 Hosts not showing up in "Virtualization" under Hosts
I cannot get the hosts and VMs in my VMware enironment to show up under Hosts -> Virtualization. It does not matter which account I use, nor how long I wait. I've used this before and it worked great. Any thoughts?
Versions
vCenter: 5.0
ESXi: 4.1 & 5.0
VNX OE for File: 7.0.50-2
VNX OE for Block: 05.31.000.5.704

What is the "Automanage" setting configured as? This is defined from the "/setup" page as follows:
1) Navigate to:
https:// / setup
2) Scroll down to (and select) the button: "Automanage On/Off"
3) You will see three possible settings and are described in detail.
Automatic Server Discovery - Polling Method
a) Disable
b) Enable - Poll Once at Startup
c) Enable - Periodic Poll Update Interval in Hours:
If defined as "Disable", select either of the "Enable" options and restart the management server on both SPs which is also achieved via the /setup page via the "Restart Management Server" button from both SP A and SP B.
For reference, the default setting for "Automanage" is "Enable - Periodic Poll Update Interval in Hours: 24"

Just to confirm... firstly, the ESX/ESXi servers are logged in and registered (show up under "Connectivity Status")? However, the ESX/ESXi servers you expect to see (along with the VM's on EMC LUNs) simply do not show up under Hosts -> Virtualization?
I'll assume you've also tried clicking on "Update All Hosts"?
