Cannot add P2000 as storage device to virtual Machine Manager 2012
yesterday
Hi,
I am trying to connect my P2000 to Virtual Machine Manager 2012 SP1.
I have two P2000 devices. One is ISCSI the other is FC.
The ISCSI firmware is T240P01-01. When I tried connecting this I was getting
error
Registration of
storage provider
http://storage_device:5988 for user smiuser failed from
Virtualmm.ldn.local with error code HostAgentFail.
Specify valid provider, port and user credentials for storage discovery.
On reading I saw that you can go to Configuration/services/management and
set
Storage Management Initiative Specification (SMI-S) to unencrypted. I did
this and the ISCSI P2000 is now talking to Virtual machine manager.

The FC P2000 was a device bought last year and was on an older firmware,
T230P03. It didn't have the same SMI-S support as the other one.

I then upgraded this P2000 to the latest fimrware - T250P01-01.
I have the exact same settings for this P2000 as with the other P2000 but I
am still getting the above error when trying to get Virtual MM to talk to
it.

I have tried creating new users on both VMM and the P2000 but nothing

I don't know what to do now. Does anyone have any ideas?
