Associate a storage backend with a vCenter Server instance to enable access for all vCenter Server instances. For MetroCluster configuration, when you associate a storage backend cluster, ensure you also associate its peer cluster with the vCenter Server.

Steps

  1. Launch ONTAP tools Manager from a web browser: https://<ONTAPtoolsIP>:8443/virtualization/ui/

  2. Log in with the ONTAP tools for VMware vSphere administrator credentials you provided during deployment.

  3. Select vCenter from the sidebar.

  4. Select the vertical ellipses next to the vCenter Server instance that you want to connect to the storage backends.

  5. From the dropdown menu, choose the storage backend you want to associate with the selected vCenter Server instance.
