2
Verify that a different application server has not already been registered to the target vCenter Server (use
the Manage Plug-ins option from vSphere Client).
3
Verify that the IP address or DNS Name is correct for the target vCenter Server and is reachable from
the application server host.

I Cannot Communicate with the Application Server

1
Check the firewall settings to verify that the Jetty TCP port is enabled. If the Jetty TCP port is not
enabled, enable it.
2
Verify that the Jetty6-Service is started on the application server. If the Jetty6-Service is stopped, start it.
NOTE: If the MD vCenter Plug-in will be installed on the same system as an active vCenter Server and
VMware Update Manager is installed, port number 8084 for the plug-in must be changed to an unused
port number.

I Cannot Create or Delete Objects

Verify that the user ID has the required storage administrator privileges assigned for the user's role. For more
information about storage administrator roles, see Configuring Storage Administrator Roles.

How Can I Maximize Client Performance

The Dell MD Storage Array vCenter Plug-in is a client-side, intensive application. A fast CPU client, with
sufficient memory to avoid page swapping, provides the best environment for running the vSphere Client.

How Do I Suppress Slow Script Warning Messages

Depending on the size of the storage array being managed, some of the views might generate a slow script
warning message and delay the processing of the view. These warning messages can be suppressed by applying
the following registry change on the host the vSphere Client is being run from, as detailed in Microsoft
Knowledge Base article at
•
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Styles
•
DWORD MaxScriptStatements set to 0xFFFFFFFF

Why Can I Not Make Changes to the Storage Array?

To make changes to the storage array, the password in the MD vCenter Plug-in must match the password set on
the storage array.
• If the passwords do not match − for example, when the storage array password is changed but the
password in the MD vCenter Plug-in is not − you can run passive commands, but not active commands.
•
The MD vCenter Plug-in displays the properties of the storage array whether the passwords match or not.
After you change the password on the storage array, change the password in the Plug-in so that it matches the
storage array password. See
NOTE: You cannot change the DNS Name or IP Address using the Edit Array Properties dialog box.

The MD vCenter Plug-in Does Not Show the New Storage Array Name after a Clear Configuration
Operation in MDSM
You can perform a Clear Configuration operation in Modular Disk Storage Manager (MDSM) that results in
one of two outcomes:
•
A Clear Configuration operation on a disk group only deletes the virtual disk configuration. The storage
array name does not change, so the MD vCenter Plug-in still sees the same storage array name.
•
A Clear Configuration operation on a storage array clears the entire configuration and changes the
storage array name to the default name. After a Clear Configuration operation, the MD vCenter Plug-in
