I am looking at getting more informaiton into our vCenter Operations Manager installaiton. I understand that I can get a VNX plugin for vOps Manager but does anymore know if there is a Celerra plugin? The SAN underneath the Celerra is a CX4-120.
i think you can use the plug-in "Unified Storage Plug-in for VMware" for Celerra as well,
As the notes from powerlink states "The EMC® Unified Storage® Plug-in for VMware supports CLARiiON, Celerra and Unified Storage Systems. It replaces the CLARiiON and celerra plug-ins for VMware. The EMC® Unified Storage® Plug-in for VMware can provision Network File System (NFS) datastores on NAS storage and Virtual Machine File System (VMFS) datastores and Raw Device Mapping (RDM) volumes on block storage, and perform array-based compression and array-based cloning of virtual machines in NFS datastores. The cloning functions include Full Clones (copies) and Fast Clones (snaps) of Virtual Machine Disk (VMDK) files. VMware administrators can use the plug-in to manage NAS and block storage in VMware environments by using the existing vSphere Client user interface."
Many thanks for your response. I am aware that we can use EMC plugins for VMware API, but I thought there were specific plugins for vCOps, like the EMC VNX plugin. Maybe I am wrong if you have used vCOps with the Unified Storage Plugin then great!
