Registering Storage Providers

With the OpenSSL or CA signed certificate, be sure double check that the CA Root Certificate is already added to the vCenters trusted root certs. If not, this will need to be done prior to registering the storage providers. Be sure that the trusted root cert has propagated to each of the ESXi hosts as well. A method is provided in the previous section that will ensure that each ESXi host has the trusted root certs propagated to the ESXi hosts.

1. Check if the FlashArray's VASA providers are already registered for the given vCenter. Should they be, remove the offline storage providers.
2. Use the Pure Storage vSphere Plugin to register the storage providers by following this guide Registering FlashArray VASA Providers with the Everpure vSphere Plugin if you have the plugin installed; if you are unable to use the vSphere Plugin, please follow this guide Web Guide: Implementing vSphere Virtual Volumes with FlashArray.

   Repeat for as many vCenter Servers as needed.
