EMC PowerPath is host-based software that provides automated data
path management and load-balancing capabilities for heterogeneous
server, network, and storage deployed in physical and virtual
environments. PowerPath uses multiple I/O data paths to share the
workload, and automated load balancing to ensure the efficient use of
data paths.
The PowerPath/VE plug-in is installed using the vSphere Update Manager.
PowerPath/VE for VMware vSphere Installation and Administration Guide
describes the process to distribute the plug-in and apply the required
licenses. To enable the plug-in after installation, restart the vSphere server.
The VNX storage system can be integrated with VMware vCenter using the
EMC Virtual Storage Integrator (VSI) for VMware vSphere Unified Storage
Management plug-in. This provides administrators the ability to manage
VNX storage tasks from within the vSphere Client.
After the plug-in is installed on the vSphere console, administrators can use
vCenter to:
Create datastores on VNX and mount them on vSphere servers.
Extend datastores.
Create FAST or full clones of virtual machines.
