OneView for vCenter (OV4VC) 9.0.0 can't see HPE management icon in vCenter Web Client 6.0.0 U3

[Fachbereich Informatik]

I have deployed OV4VC 9.0.0 from the OVA and successfully added vCenter from OV4VC management page (https://ov4vc.domain.name/ui/index.html) but vCenter Web Client still doesn't show the HPE Management icons. Tried deleting/adding/refresh and waited 2 days but still not there. Any suggestions?

I have some updates and I am one step further but not at the end ;-)

After a reboot of Virtual VC Appliance I can see the HPE Management icon. No I would like to register our 3PAR System in OV4VC but everything I try will be failed.

The goal of this effort is to see the deduplication rate of attached 3PAR Volumes to ESXi Hosts insight the vCenter. That's all I want and nothing more.

I tried every login and destination (StoreServer Mgmt Console, SP Processor or direct to Storage). I'm sure it is not a firewall problem and I checked the log files of firewall

The requirements to integrate a 3PAR System are (Installation Guide) :

HPE 3PAR StoreServ requires:
◦ Network connectivity to the management port of the HPE
3PAR StoreServ
◦ CIM provider must be enabled
◦ SSH service must be enabledTo verify, log into the
storage system’s management server as an administrator.
Install the HPE 3PAR OS Command Line Interface and
run it. If you can log into it, the SSH service is running and
enabled.

From my point of view we fulfil this requirements.

The error message is :

Add general - Storage Systems - HPE OneView for VMware vCenter

Unable to retrieve certificate.

Could not connect to: 10.106.2.13:5989

So I can't even get the certificate.

My questions :

1. Where I have to connect exactly by the registration (StoreServ Management Console, Storage Process,  3PAR Direct ...) ?
2. Does somebody have some experience with integrating 3PAR Systems to OV4VC 

(see attached file)

if you need any information just let me know and I apreciate any help

Have you tried with the HPE 3PAR Remote CLI Client?  With ssh to the array?

[frenchy94]

You must enter 3PAR credentials (3PARdata) from OV4VC GUI in order to discover storage

Yes....you should be adding the storagesystem in the OV4VC appliance UI. It can be accessed by typing the OV4VC Ip-address in the browser.

Yes. I can connect with the ssh client to array.
