Emulex

OneCommand Manager

for VMware vCenter is a comprehensive

management utility for Emulex adapters that provides a powerful, centralized adapter

management suite for the VMware vCenter management console.

This comprehensive solution builds upon standard Emulex Common Interface Model

(CIM) management providers and advanced functionality delivered with the Emulex

OneCommand Manager application to present native configuration management,

status monitoring, and online maintenance of Emulex adapters in VMware ESXi

environments, using a graphical interface (GUI) or a command line interface (CLI).

Compatibility

For supported versions of operating systems, platforms, and adapters, see the Emulex

website.

OneCommand Manager for VMware vCenter can be hosted and registered on the

following servers:

 vCenter Server 6.0

 vCenter Server 5.5

 vCenter Server 5.1

OneCommand Manager for VMware vCenter is supported for the following Windows

operating systems:

 Windows 7 -x64

 Windows 8 -x64

 Windows 8.1 -x64

 Windows Server 2012

Refer to Table 1-1, Support Provided by Emulex CIM Provider Versions, on page 19 to

determine the support provided by your Emulex CIM Provider.

Note: Illustrations in this manual are for illustrative purposes only. Your system

information can vary.

OneCommand Manager for VMware vCenter supports Emulex LPe16202 adapters. If

the adapter is in Fibre Channel (FC) mode, it functions as an FC adapter. If it is in Fibre

Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) + network interface card (NIC) mode, it functions as a

Converged Network Adapter (CNA).

OneCommand Manager for VMware vCenter supports Emulex OneConnect

adapters, including OCe14101 and OCe14102 CNAs. The features available in

OneCommand Manager for VMware vCenter are determined by the Emulex CIM

Provider version installed.

Table 1-1 on page 19 lists the Emulex OneCommand Manager application support

provided by the Emulex CIM Provider package and the individual FC and CNA
