Enabling and disabling vCenter or ESX logon from SnapDrive MMC

You can use SnapDrive MMC to enable and disable VMware vCenter or ESX logon settings after SnapDrive is installed on your Windows host.

Keep the following information in mind when setting vCenter or ESX logon from SnapDrive MMC:

You cannot disable vCenter or ESX logon from SnapDrive MMC when RDM LUNs are present.
You must disconnect or delete RDM LUNs before you can disable ESX logon.
If you migrate a virtual machine from one ESX server to another, you must configure SnapDrive with vCenter account information.

In the left MMC pane, select the instance of SnapDrive for which you want to enable or disable vCenter or ESX logon.
From the menu choices at the top of MMC, navigate to Action > VirtualCenter or ESX Server Login Settings.
The VirtualCenter or ESX Server Log On window is displayed.
To enable vCenter or ESX logon, in the VirtualCenter or ESX Server Log On window, select the "Enable VirtualCenter or ESX server settings" checkbox.
Type the IP address or hostname, user name, and password for the vCenter or ESX to which you want to log in.
Click OK.
To disable vCenter or ESX logon, complete Steps 1 and 2 and then clear the "Enable VirtualCenter or ESX server settings" checkbox.
The vCenter or ESX settings are unavailable (grayed out).
Note: When you disable vCenter or ESX settings, SnapDrive cannot display WWPNs for FC HBAs on the ESX server.
