GUI – Managing integration with vCenter Operations Manager
Before you can use the IBM® Storage Management Pack for VMware vCenter Operations Manager, you must set a connection to at least one vCenter Operations Manager (vCOps) server, and then define which storage arrays should be monitored in vCOps.
After a vCOps server connection is defined and storage arrays are associated with the vCOps server, detailed monitoring information for these storage arrays becomes available in vCOps (for more information, see Using the IBM Storage Management Pack for VMware vCenter Operations Manager).
Note: This functionality is applicable only
to XIV® storage arrays.

To access these options, go to the Monitoring pane of Spectrum Control GUI. You can then manage the integration with vCOps as explained in the following sections:
- GUI – Downloading the vCOps management package.
- Deploying the management package on vCOps.
- Describing the management package on vCOps.
- GUI – Connecting the vCOps server to Spectrum Control.
- GUI – Attaching and detaching storage arrays on the vCOps server.
The vCOps integration, except for the management package operations, can be performed from the CLI as well, as explained in CLI – Managing integration with vCenter Operations Manager.
