Add an Oracle FS System to vSphere

If an Oracle FS System that you need is not connected to the vSphere environment, you can manually add one.

Prerequisite:

Administrator credentials to enable access to the Oracle FS System.

Oracle recommends creating a unique Administrator 2 account as the operator account for the Oracle vSphere Plug-In for Oracle Flash Storage Systems.

From the vSphere menu bar, select Inventory > Hosts and Clusters.
In the vSphere inventory tree, right-click the ESX host you want to associate with the new Oracle FS System.
Select a Manage Oracle FS Storage task from the context menu.
Example: For example, click Manage Oracle FS Storage > Manage LUNs.
Result:A dialog shows the Oracle FS System associated with the host.
In the dialog that shows the associated Oracle FS System, right-click and select Add Oracle FS System.
In the Add Oracle FS System dialog, enter the following information:
- IP Address
- Login Name
- Password
Click OK.
Result:The new Oracle FS System appears in the list of associated Oracle FS Systems.
