Managing integration with vRealize Operations Manager
Before you can use the IBM® Storage Management Pack for VMware vRealize Operations Manager, you must set a connection to at least one vRealize Operations Manager (vROps) server, and then define which storage systems should be monitored in vROps.
After a vROps server connection is defined and storage systems are associated with the vROps server, detailed monitoring information for these storage systems becomes available in vROps (for more information, see IBM Storage Management Pack for VMware vRealize Operations Manager).
Note: In version 3.5.x, the IBM Storage Management Pack for
VMware vRealize Operations Manager does not support the DS8000 family storage systems.

To access these options, go to the Monitoring pane of Spectrum Connect GUI. You can then manage the integration with vROps as explained in the following sections:
- Downloading the vROps management package.
- Deploying the management package on vROps.
- Connecting the vROps server to Spectrum Connect.
- Controlling storage system monitoring on the vROps server.
The vROps integration, except for the management package operations, can be performed from the CLI as well, as explained in CLI – Managing integration with vRealize Operations Manager.
