Enable Oracle FS System Access From a Datastore

You can enable access to an Oracle FS System by providing Oracle FS System credentials when you select a datastore.

Prerequisite:

Administrator credentials to enable access to the Oracle FS System.

Any Oracle FS System can be associated with datastores. When you select a management task from the context menu for a datastore associated with an Oracle FS System, you will be prompted for login credentials for that Oracle FS System.
  1. In the vSphere inventory tree, right-click the datastore with which the Oracle FS System is associated.
  2. Select a Manage Oracle FS Storage task from the context menu.
    Example: For example, click Manage Oracle FS Storage > Volume Properties.
    Result:The Oracle FS System Authentication dialog prompts you for credentials for the Oracle FS System associated with the host or datacenter.
  3. Enter the administrator credentials in the Login Name and Password fields, and click Next.
    Result:If the credentials are authenticated, the management task dialog displays. If the credentials are not authenticated, you are again prompted for credentials. Make certain that you have the correct credentials for the Oracle FS System.
