Discovering storage systems and hosts
When you first run Virtual Storage Console (VSC) in a VMware vSphere Web Client, VSC discovers ESXi hosts, their LUNs and NFS exports, and the NetApp storage systems that own those LUNs and exports. After the discovery process is complete, you should provide the storage system credentials.
Before you begin 
You should ensure that all of the ESXi hosts are powered on and connected.
About this task 
You can discover new storage systems or update information about storage systems to obtain the latest capacity and configuration information at any time. You can also modify the credentials that VSC uses to log in to the storage systems.
The discovery process also collects information from the ESXi hosts that are managed by the vCenter Server instance.
Steps 
1.
From the vSphere Web Client Home page, select Hosts and Clusters.
2.
Right-click the required datacenter, and select NetApp VSC > Update Host and Storage Data.
VSC displays a Confirm dialog box that informs you that this operation can take a long time.

5.
Fill in the required information in the Modify Storage System dialog box.
6.
After you finish 
After the discovery process is complete, you should use VSC to configure ESXi host settings for hosts that display the Alert icon in the Adapter Settings column, the MPIO Settings column, or the NFS Settings column.
