Add Storage System to VASA Provider for Monitoring

After installing the Oracle FS Provider for VMware VASA package on an operating system, you can add an Oracle FS System to be monitored.

Prerequisites:

The host where Oracle FS Provider for VMware VASA is installed must be able to communicate with the Oracle FS System that you want to monitor.
For each Oracle FS System that you want to monitor, you need a user account and password. Oracle recommends that you create a unique account on each Oracle FS System to use with Oracle FS Provider for VMware VASA.

Navigate to the Oracle FS Provider for VMware VASA folder where the software is located.
- For Linux and Solaris, the default directory is /opt/ofsvasa/tools.
  The file name is OFSVASASystemEditorTool.sh.
- For Windows, the default directory is Program Files/Oracle Corporation/Oracle FS Provider for VMWare VASA/tools/.
  Note: The tools are located in the tools directory.
  
  The file name is OFSVASASystemEditorTool.bat.
To start the utility, enter one of the following commands on the command line:
- For Linux and Solaris: OFSVASASystemEditorTool.sh
- For Windows: OFSVASASystemEditorTool.bat
If you do not specify any options, the help information is displayed.
The system editor utility starts and you can enter commands.
To add an Oracle FS System, enter the following commands:
```
OFSVASASystemEditorTool ‑add ‑host <host> ‑user <user>
```
Provide the host name (which is a DNS or IP address), and the administrator account information for the Oracle FS System.

The system prompts you for the account password.
The Oracle FS System configuration information is saved.
You can validate the configuration by using the ‑list option to view the configuration information:
```
OFSVASASystemEditorTool ‑list
```
If the command was successfully entered, the following information displays:
[root@oracle tools]# sh OFSVASASystemEditorTool.sh ‑list ConnectionInfo: Host: ofs.us.oracle.com User: administrator Password: ****** Timeout: 30 Succeeded. [root@oracle tools]#

When you add an Oracle FS System and the Oracle FS Provider for VMware VASA is online, the Oracle FS Provider for VMware VASA recognizes the Oracle FS System immediately and begins monitoring the system.

Important! Nothing is delivered to the vCenter client until the Oracle FS Provider for VMware VASA is registered with the VMware vCenter Server.
