You can view system status from the Storage Plugin for vCenter or from the vSphere Client.
-
Open the plugin from within the vSphere Client.
-
View status from the following panels:
-
Storage array status — Go to the Manage-All panel. For each discovered array, the row provides a Status column.
-
Operations in progress — Click Operations on the side panel to view all long-running tasks, such as importing settings. You can also view long-running operations from the Provisioning drop-down. For each operation listed on the Operations in Progress dialog, a percentage of completion and estimated time remaining to complete the operation are shown. In some cases, you can stop an operation or place it at a higher or lower priority. If desired, use the links in the Actions column to stop or change priority for an operation.
