VSI 5.2 GA announced

This release of the Storage Viewer feature for EMC VSI for VMware vSphere provides the capability to view performance statistics of NFS datastores that reside on EMC VNX storage systems, and RDM volumes that reside on EMC Symmetrix VMAX, VMAXe, and EMC VNX storage systems that have statistics collection enabled.

EMC® Virtual Storage Integrator (VSI) for VMware vSphere™ is a VMware vCenter plug-in that provides a single management interface to manage EMC storage within the vSphere environment. VSI lets users add and remove features independently to create custom VSI environments. VSI Feature Manager provides the capability to manage the individual VSI features. VSI provides a unified user experience which allows each feature to be updated independently, or add new features in response to changing customer requirements. Examples of features available for VSI are Storage Viewer (SV), Path Management, Storage Pool Management (SPM), Symmetrix® SRA Utilities, and Unified Storage Management.

The Storage Viewer feature extends the vSphere Client to facilitate the discovery and identification of EMC Symmetrix®, CLARiiON®, Celerra®, VPLEX™, and VNX™ storage devices allocated to VMware ESX/ESXi hosts and virtual machines. SV merges the data of several different storage mapping tools into a few seamless vSphere Client views, and presents the underlying storage details to the virtual datacenter administrator. SV resolves the underlying storage of virtual machine file system (VMFS) and network file system (NFS) datastores and virtual disks, as well as raw device mappings (RDM). In addition, SV presents lists of storage arrays and devices accessible
to the ESX and ESXi hosts in the virtual datacenter. Once installed and configured, VSI provides storage mapping and connectivity details for Symmetrix, CLARiiON, Celerra, VPLEX, and VNX devices.
