Manage a Dell Storage with vCenter Server

Reading Time: 2 minutesIn the previous post, I’ve described how is possible integrate the Dell storage array management with the new Microsoft System Center VMM 2012. But of course it is possible to do the same (and from longer time) also using VMware.

In this case the integration could be strong or weak, but usually differ from storage and storage. […]

vCenter Operations Management – Installation without a DRS cluster

28 June 2012
Comments off
