I'm setting up the trial vApp and have a root login to the Vipr console. I've added a Storage provider but the connection fails. When setting up the Storage Provider, I tried both the host name and the IP of the solutions enabler host but no luck getting the storage system added.

So a couple of basic questions.

1. Is the default installation of solutions enabler on a linux host with gate keepers assigned and VMAX discovered with symcfg enough to serve as a storage provider host? If not, how do I make the solutions enabler host into a storage provider.

2. In the "Add Storage Provider" form in the vipr controller there is a required user name and password. Is this a linux OS account with priviliges sufficient to run SE commands? If so, is it possible to have vipr use this account in conjunction with sudo?
