Emulex

®

OneCommand Manager

™

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.

OneCommand Manager for VMware vCenter supports the following VMware

platforms:

 VMware ESXi 5.5

 VMware ESXi 5.1

 VMware ESXi 5.0

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

following servers:

 vCenter Server 5.5

 vCenter Server 5.1

 vCenter Server 5.0

OneCommand Manager for VMware vCenter 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 -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 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.

OneCommand Manager 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.

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, the following conventions apply:

  the feature is supported on the particular Emulex CIM Provider version and

OneCommand Manager for VMWare vCenter.

 N/A the feature is not applicable.

 * the feature is supported for LPe16000-series FC adapters only.

 ** the feature is supported for LPe16000-series FC and CNA adapters.
