Refreshing the storage system display

You can use the update feature that is provided by Virtual Storage Console for VMware vSphere to refresh the information about storage systems and to force Virtual Storage Console (VSC) to discover storage systems.

The refresh option is useful if you changed the default credentials for the storage systems after receiving an authentication error. You should always perform an update operation if you changed the storage system credentials after the storage system reported an Authentication Failure Status. During the update operation, VSC tries to connect to the storage system by using the new credentials.

Depending on your system setup, this task can take a long time to complete.

  1. On the VMware vSphere Client Home page, click Storage Systems.
  2. Start the update:
    If this location is...Click...
    Virtual Storage ConsoleThe REDISCOVER ALL icon.
    DatacenterRight-click the datacenter, and then click Lenovo VSC > Update Host and Storage Data.
  3. In the Update Host and Storage Data dialog box, click OK.
    The discovery might take few minutes depending on the number of hosts and storage systems in your datacenter. This discovery operation works in the background.
  4. Click OK in the Success dialog box.
