Correcting storage system names displayed as "unknown"

If Virtual Storage Console for VMware vSphere displays a storage system name as "unknown", you can modify the credentials and add the management IP address of the storage system in the Modify Storage System pop-up box.

About this task

An "unknown" name can occur if an NFS datastore is mounted over a private network.

If you are running clustered Data ONTAP and working with NFS datastores that are mounted using an NFS data LIF, this issue can occur with either a private network or a public network.

Steps

  1. From the Virtual Storage Console Home page, click Storage Systems.
  2. Right-click the "unknown" storage system, and then select Modify Storage System.
  3. Enter the management IP address of the storage system and the storage system credentials in the Modify storage system -unknown- pop-up box.
    VSC must have network connectivity to the management port that you specify.
