Manually register multiple vCenter servers using the self-signed certificate
Beginning with PowerStoreOS 3.5, you can manually register multiple vCenter servers with PowerStore using the PowerStore self-signed certificate.
Prerequisites
NOTE:You cannot register multiple vCenter servers using a VMCA root certificate. Not enabling
Retrain VASA certificate will result in the self-signed certificate to be overwritten with the VMCA root certificate.
Steps
- In PowerStore Manager, go to Settings and, under Security, select VASA Certificate.
-
Set
Retain VASA Certificate to
Enabled to ensure the vCenter uses the PowerStore self-signed certificate.
NOTE:If you do not enable the retain option, the VMCA root certificate eventually overwrites the self-signed certificate and registration of multiple vCenter servers fails.
- In vCenter, manually add PowerStore as the VASA storage provider following the procedure in Manually register the VASA provider in vCenter Server.
- Repeat this process for any additional vCenter servers that use the same PowerStore self-signed CA.
Next steps
Optionally, verify that the PowerStore self-signed certificate information displays for each vCenter server in the vCenter Storage Providers page.
