Emulex

®

OneCommand Manager

™

for VMware vCenter (OCM for VMware vCenter)

integrates the in-depth management of Emulex host bus adapters (HBAs), universal

converged network adapters (UCNAs), and converged fabric adapters (CFAs) into 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 (GUI) or command line (CLI) user interface.

OCM for VMware vCenter supports the following VMware platforms:

 VMware ESXi 5.5

 VMware ESXi 5.1

 VMware ESXi 5.0

OCM for VMware vCenter can be hosted/registered on the following servers:

 vCenter Server 5.5

 vCenter Server 5.1

 vCenter Server 5.0

OCM for VMware vCenter version 10.0 is supported for the following operating

systems:

 Windows Server 2008 SP2 (or later) – Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter

editions (32 bit, x86) and (64 bit, x86_64)

 Windows Server 2008 R2 – Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter editions (32 bit,

x86) and (64 bit, x86_64)

 Windows 7 (64-bit)

 Windows 8 (64-bit)

 Windows 2012 (64 bit)

Refer to Table 1-1, Support Provided by Emulex CIM Provider Versions, on page 18 to

determine the support provided by your Emulex CIM Provider.

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

information can vary.

OCM for VMware vCenter supports Emulex LPe16202 CFAs. If the CFA 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 UCNA.

OCM for VMware vCenter supports Emulex OCe14101 and OCe14102 UCNAs.The

features available in OCM for VMware vCenter are determined by the version of

Emulex CIM provider installed.

The following table lists the Emulex OneCommand Manager application support

provided by each Emulex CIM provider package and the individual FC and UCNA

providers in each package. The Emulex CIM Provider packages can be downloaded

from the Emulex website.

Note: In Table 1-1, “

” indicates the feature is supported on the particular Emulex

CIM Provider version and OCM for VMWare vCenter. ”N/A” table cells
