ESXi Hosts with NetApp, Hosts Utility and Best Practices for vmware

[mehmet_demirel]

Hi,

is it possible to install Host Utility on ESXi Hosts ?

Or is there any docu about Best Practices for Netapp an ESXi 4.x?

Thanks for any Help

hi,

you can find the best parctices here:

http://media.netapp.com/documents/tr-3749.pdf

http://blogs.netapp.com/virtualstorageguy/2009/07/vsphere-on-netapp-best-practices-released.html

The doc has been updated in june 2010, so it covers vSphere 4 now.

I think the host utility installation onto an ESXi is not possible. You should take a look at the vCenter

plugin instead (VSC).

rgds,

Jacint

Hi Jacint,

thank you for your answer, this is helpfull for me. So i read a little bit of this documentation and netapp s talking about VCS2.0 and i was able to find only the Version VCS 1.0.

IS the VCS2.0 in secret place ?
