GUI – Managing and monitoring VASA access
You can control and monitor the utilization of the IBM® Storage Provider for VMware VASA, which is part of the IBM Spectrum Control Base Edition solution.
To display a list of all vCenter servers that are currently registered and are utilizing VASA functions, go to the VASA Trusted Certificates dialog box (). Instructions on adding Spectrum Control Base as a storage provider to the VMware vCenter Server are detailed in the Registering Spectrum Control Base as a storage provider in vCenter server section. During Spectrum Control Base registration, the certificate validity is verified for VMware VASA 1.0 and VASA 2.0. Also, for VMware VASA 2.0, it is verified that the certificate is signed by the VC root CA (when working with VMCA) or it is uploaded as a trusted certificate.
If you want to disconnect a vCenter server, click and highlight the row of the vCenter server that you want to disconnect, and then click the Remove button.
If you want to upload a new certificate, click and attach your certificate file.
Before any vCenter server can be registered and start utilizing the IBM Storage Provider, you must first set the VASA credentials, as explained in the following section.
