The VASA providers for flasharray-m50-1 need to be registered for vCenter-01, and the two VASA providers for flasharray-m50-2 should be registered with vCenter-02.

To check that they are registered, login to the vSphere Client, and click on the vCenter and then the Configure tab. Choose Storage Providers.

Check the list of providers to see if both VASA providers are there.

If they are not (they are not in the image above), click on the top menu and choose Everpure.

Identify the FlashArrays you would like to register, in this case flasharray-m50-1 and flasharray-m50-2:

If they are not there, click Add and authenticate them. If they are select one and click Register Storage Providers.

Enter in administrative credentials to the FlashArray (the recommendation is to create a specific VASA service account) and choose the vCenter you would like to register this FlashArray with. You may register it with multiple in this list, but it is recommended to only register it with vCenters that need vVol storage from that array.

In this case, flasharray-m50-1 will be registered with vCenter-01:

Note:

Before registering the FlashArray VASA providers with one or more vCenters, ensure that it is not in use with a separate vCenter already, or verify that a CA-signed certificate has been created and loaded first which allows multiple non-linked vCenter access.

Once complete, verify that both VASA providers are registered and marked Online.

Repeat for the paired FlashArray, in this case flasharray-m50-2 with vCenter-02:

Choose vCenter-02:

Verify it is online:
