Starting with PowerStoreOS 3.5, you can implement a third-party certificate for the PowerStore VASA provider. You can replace the system’s self-signed certificate with the third-party certificate, or you can retain the system’s self-signed certificate and also add a third-party certificate. Implementing a third-party certificate for the PowerStore VASA provider allows for support of multiple standalone vCenter instances to leverage a single PowerStore VASA provider.
Figure 9. Import third-party VASA certificate
Under VASA Certificate, you have the option to retain the current VASA certificate, whether it is a self-signed PowerStore certificate, a third-party signed certificate, or a vCenter certificate. If enabled, the retain option prevents the VASA server certificate on the PowerStore system from being overwritten by the vCenter server.
To implement a third-party certificate for VASA, follow these steps:
Note: Ensure that the vCenter server trusts the CA of the certificate being imported; otherwise, VASA functionality, including the management of a vVol VM, will be unavailable.
