InfoSight Released yet?

[SimonHorwood]

Hi

I've had a fair amount of mails from the account team about Infosight for Simplivity but I can't see anything on it on the Infosight page. Any dates yet?

Cheers

Simon

I think its ok now for Vmware only  :

I have this on my InfoSight console : 

Registering Your HPE OmniStack Hosts with HPE InfoSight

Prerequisites

• All HPE OmniStack hosts use HPE OmniStack 3.7.8 software.

• HPE OmniWatch feature remains enabled (default setting).

• Manually enabled the HPE InfoSight registration feature in HPE SimpliVity Plug-in for vSphere Client.

Procedure

1. Click HPE Server Registration to obtain a token and copy it. (You need to copy the token to paste it into vSphere Client.)
2. Log in to vSphere Client (HTML5) with HPE SimpliVity Plug-in already installed.
3. From vSphere Client Home, click Global Inventory Lists. Then click Clusters.
4. Click a cluster from the table. (The registration applies to all the clusters in the federation.)
5. Click the Configure tab.
6. Under More, click HPE OmniWatch.
7. In the HPE InfoSight Registration section, paste the token you obtained in HPE InfoSight into the HPE InfoSight Claim Token field.
8. Click Register. It can take up to 24 hours to populate HPE InfoSight with your federation data

I can't find OmniWatch under More when clicking Global InventoryLists->Clusters

[fahlis]

InfoSight is fully released today.

There's som more manual steps to enable it, see below. However even after following those I still I can't find OmniWatch under More when clicking Global InventoryLists->Clusters.. Using OmniStack 3.7.10

Enable the registration action (VCSA)
Log in to VCSA with root credentials. Enable shell commands with these commands:
>shell.set –-enable True
>shell
3. Run commands in the following order:
a) cd /etc/vmware/vsphere-client/
b) ls
If com.simplivity.client.properties file does not exist proceed to step c. If it does exist, go to
step g.
c) touch com.simplivity.client.properties
d) chown vsphere-client:users com.simplivity.client.properties
e) chmod 644 com.simplivity.client.properties
f) ls -all
This command verifies that properties are the same as the webclient.properties.
g) vim com.simplivity.client.properties
h) Add the following text:
# Enable display of InfoSight registration
com.simplivity.common.enableInfoSightRegistration=true
i) Save the file and exit:
Pres ESC and enter :wq.
j) Stop and start the vsphere-ui service:
service-control  --stop vsphere-ui
service-control  --start vsphere-ui
4. Reload the vCenter Server Web user interface.

Device Enrollment. Then, obtain a claim token and copy it.
4. Log in to vSphere Client (HTML5) with the HPE SimpliVity Plug-in for vSphere Client installed.
5. From vSphere Client Home, click Global Inventory Lists. Then click Clusters.
6. Click a cluster from the table.
Registration applies to all the clusters in the federation.
7. Under More, click HPE OmniWatch or HPE InfoSight.
NOTE:
If you are using vCenter Server 6.7 U1, the HPE OmniWatch option is located under Cluster→HPE
OmniWatchConfigure.
8. In the HPE InfoSight Registration section, paste the claim token you obtained in the HPE InfoSight portal in to
the HPE InfoSight Claim Token box.

And for Hyper-V ?? its on the roadmap ??

it's possible not to have a roadmap on simplivity. Hyper V is always one step behind. No granularity in backups, no Hp Insight...

[DeclanOR]

Hi @jfrobs 

Hyper-V is relatively new as a supported Hypervisor, so it is going to take time for it to evolve to a similar point as to where our vSphere platform is at. It is evolving quickly however, so I'm sure the functionalities you mention will also become available in the future.

Right now, for the first integration of SimpliVity into InfoSight, only vSphere is supported. 

Good news for you however....Hyper-V is expected to be supported on InfoSight in the next SimpliVity release (4.0) ETA for general availability January next. So we are not forgetting about our Hyper-V customers!!
