Why is SIP4VC so useless, does it never get tested?

[T_1_6]

Even on the new 12.1 appliance, it drops our arrays in a matter off less than an hour, and they remain with status "unknown".

There are no network issues, and things used to be ok with older appliances.

We have two 3par arrays connected to our SIP4VC instance, and they both drop from the console and stats at random intervals, never to return.

It's really frustrating and annoying, as I have staff that like to use the storage metrics it provides inside vCenter, yet it's never working.

Hi T_1_6,

There are no known bugs as far as I know. Also, kindly note, this needs detailed analysis using the logs collected from SIP4VC. I suggest opening a case with HPE support on the array serial numbers to find out what is happening in your environment.

There is a 'storasge' and a '3PAR' channel too.  This is HPE OneView land.

"Starting with the 10.0 release, the server and storage plug-ins are separated. HPE Storage Integration Pack for VMware vCenter is a standalone product for managing only HPE Storage systems with no dependencies on HPE OneView. The server plug-in component is no longer bundled with the storage plug-in and is available as a separate download."
