Solution Overview
Information on the ETERNUS DX can be checked from the vSphere Web Client by expanding the user interface
for VMware vSphere Web Client. The VMware administrator can grasp the physical and virtual mapping rela-
ted to virtual machine, datastore, and host system, allowing integrated management of the infrastructure
under a virtual environment. In addition, installation of vSphere Storage APIs for Storage Awareness (VASA)
can enhance the VMware storage management function.
