Use the plug-in to discover the storage
system
The plug-in is used to manage the storage systems you have discovered. You can discover a storage system and refresh the
discovery history details. You can also modify and remove a storage system from the inventory.
NOTE: At least one storage system should be available to be discovered and the administrator should know the storage-
system login credentials. If the storage system is connected via iSCSI, the ESXi host should already be configured to access
the storage system's iSCSI target.
