How to enable SMI-S on existing volumes for SCVMM

[stevewysocki26]

Hello all, I have followed the instructions on Julian Cates's blog post regarding enabling SMI-S on new volumes Managing Nimble Storage Arrays with Microsoft SCVMM and SMI-S, but I cannot discover how to do this after all of my volumes have been created.  SCVMM can just see the newly created volumes that have been tagged as smis type. 

In Julian's blog post he explains the following:

All new volumes which SCVMM creates on the Nimble array will have this attribute. If you have existing volumes that you’d like to manage with SCVMM, you can modify the agent_type attribute for those volumes so that they can be discovered by SCVMM

Please help.

Thanks!

Update

With the help of this: SCVMM doesn't see existing volumes after adding Nimble CS Series

Went into CLI.  Typed command: vol --edit VolName --agent_type smis

*VolName* case sensitive, so do a vol --list prior to running command to change the agent type

After that, SCVMM doesn't see existing volumes after adding Nimble CS Series discussed to right click on the SCVMM provider list and rescan.  It will pop in no problem.
