To verify that VASA Provider registration succeeded, in the Web Client Host and Clusters:
- Click the target vCenter in the inventory pane
- Select the Configure tab
- Locate the newly-registered providers in Storage Providers
On the Storage Providers page there are some useful sections that display the information for the VASA Providers.
-
The first column has the Storage Providers names that were used to register the storage providers. Additionally, the storage array that the VASA Provider is managing is listed below it, along with the number of online providers for that storage array.
-
The Status column will list if the provider is online and accessible from vCenter.
-
vCenter can only have a single Active storage provider for a given storage array. The Active/Standby column will display if the provider is the active or standby provider.
-
The Certificate Expiry column displays how many days are left before the certificate expires for that storage provider. At 180 days a yellow warning will be displayed.
-
After selecting a Storage Provider there are additional tabs and information that can be selected for that provider. The general tab will display all the basic information for the given storage provider. This is a very useful information tab.
Alternatively, the PowerCLI Get-VasaProvider cmdlet can be used to list registered VASA providers. The results can be filtered to just display the VASA Providers that belong to the Everpure namespace. Only the Active Storage providers are returned with this cmdlet.
