Overview
If you are not already aware, the EMC storage Plugins for VMware vSphere are free to download for all EMC customers off Powerlink. The plugins allow you to view all the characteristics of your virtual machine storage (NFS and VMFS) right from within your vSphere Client for vCenter. Optionally, based on how you configure your storage, you can also provision new datastores (again, NFS and VMFS) right from within vCenter.
In this document – I detail the entire process for downloading, installing, and configuring the EMC VSI Plugins for VMware vSphere.
