VMWare ESX and FC Information

[Rob Buxton]

Hi All,
I have the latest 7.4.1 Agents on the ESX Server. Unlike the Windows servers there is no entry for "External Storage Connections" under the Storage section.
This is useful as it is a quick way to see the WWN of the devices.
Have I missed something or is this sub-agent not yet available. I can get the information from the lputil utility, but that'a a bit of a pain.

Hi Rob, I'm not an expert on this area yet but for a sanity check I went and looked at one of my systems that we have running ESX Server 2.5.1 using the 7.4.1a agents and we can see the External Storage Connections section on at least one of the systems I have checked so far. If you need more info I can look up for you let me know and I'll try to find it. (I didn't setup the ESX servers so I have limited knowledge there but can try to get you the info.)

Thanks, that's interesting. We're on ESX 2.5.3, so I'll check a bit further. I only have the one server with FC HBA's in, so there's limited comparisons I can do.
