HP 3PAR Views in the vSphere Client

The HP 3PAR Management Plug-in and the Recovery Manager Software for VMware vSphere adds
its own plug-in views in the vSphere Client. Each plug-in view is associated with a VMware entity
such as a VM or Datastore (Virtual Volume). The details of plug-in views are defined in an XML
file URL, which is registered with the vCenter Server during plug-in registration.

HP 3PAR Management Plug-in and Recovery Manager Software for VMware vSphere adds the
following views to the vSphere Client:

Datastore View - Displays all virtual volumes associated with a Datastore.

Virtual Machine View - Displays all virtual volumes associated with a VM. Volumes that use
Raw Device Mapped (RDM) virtual disks are also displayed.

ESXi Host View - Displays all virtual volumes that are assigned to the ESXi host.

Cluster View - Displays all virtual volumes associated with every ESXi host in the cluster.

Datacenter View - The VMware datacenter has several ESXi hosts and Clusters. This view
displays all virtual volumes associated with every ESXi host in the datacenter.

NOTE:

HP 3PAR Management Plug-in and Recovery Manager Software for VMware vSphere

does not support a single ESXi host mapped to multiple HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage system host
names. All WWNs for each Fiber Channel host adaptor on the same ESXi server should be used
to create a single host name on the storage system.
