Hi *.*

I am currently playing with integrating VNX block(s) into a vSphere5 environment.

I have currently no ESX with active (external) storage connectivity but i already started to install plugins in vSphere.

So here my question:

I have installed EMC VSI and VASA plugins and VASA provider (i use still the SE SMI-S array provider although i have FLARE 32 on a VNX5100) and VASA recognizes VNX5100 correctly.

Issue is now, i do not see any capabilities when i try to create a VM storage profile- could it be that this is due to lack of physical connectivity to VNX from ESX servers and no VM configuration is in place at VNX? Or do i get no capabilities if i only have a VNX5100 which only can handle VP but not FAST?

Any clue?

Thanks for ideas
