Q-Logic 3200, 8200 manual Launching the Plug-in from vSphere Client

1–Product Overview Installing the QLogic Adapter vCenter Plug-in for ESX/ESXi

For Perl:

http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-4530

1.Before you can use the script, download the appropriate VI SDK from VMware.

For PowerShell, download vSphere PowerCLI: http://communities.vmware.com/community/vmtn/vsphere/automationtools/ powercli

For Perl VI SDK, download vSphere SDK for Perl: http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/viperltoolkit/

2.After you download and install the SDK and the registration script, follow VMware instructions to register the vCenter Plug-in.

For example, the Perl unregister command is:

perl registerPlugin.pl --server="127.0.0.1"

-username="administrator" --password="password"

--key="com.qlogic.QLogicAdapterVIPlugIn" --action="remove"

3.Replace the username and password with the correct information to log into the vCenter Server.

Launching the Plug-in from vSphere Client

To launch the plug-in from vSphere client:

1.Start the vSphere Client and connect to the vCenter Server. (If you start and connect the vSphere Client directly to an ESX or ESXi server, the vCenter plug-in does not appear.)

2.If you have not already done so, create a data center and add the ESX server.

3.In the left pane, select the server.

A row of tabs appear in the right pane. If the server has QLogic Adapter CIM Provider and adapters installed, and if the vCenter plug-in installation and registration were successful, the QLogic Adapter tab appears in the tab row.

4.Click the QLogic Adapter tab to view a web page.
