ESXi hosts can be registered in PowerStore Manager to enable access to storage resources. Starting with PowerStoreOS 2.0, enhancements are added to display additional details and improve visibility for ESXi hosts. These enhancements include:
- The vSphere Host Name column displays the hostname that is displayed in the vSphere Web Client.
- The vSphere Host Name column enables administrators to easily identify the host, even if it is registered with different names in PowerStore Manager and vSphere.
- This column is on multiple pages within PowerStore Manager (Hosts & Host Groups, Virtual Machines, Virtual Volumes, and so on).
- The ESXi Version column is also displayed in PowerStore Manager on the Hosts & Host Groups page.
The following figure shows the enhanced Hosts & Host Groups page.
