Storage Administrator Portal login credentials

During the Storage Module for vCenter installation, you specify the login credentials to use for the
Storage Administrator Portal. These credentials are only for logging in to the Storage Administrator
Portal; they do not grant the VMware Administrator role that is required to perform Storage Module
for vCenter provisioning operations on HP arrays. To use the Storage Module for vCenter
provisioning features, you must configure the VMware Administrator role in a vSphere session. For
instructions, see the HP Insight Control for VMware vCenter Server Installation Guide.

Possible cause: A hardware failure on an HP EVA. Some hardware failures can negatively impact
HP EVA Command View performance and lead to significantly longer refresh times by the Storage
Module for vCenter.

Action: Remove or replace any failed drive on the HP EVA.

occurs during array or management server configuration

Possible cause: The Insight Control for vCenter host name contains one or more unsupported
