Is it possible/supported to connect more than 1 vCenter to 3PAR VASA?

I have a 7400, and implemented VVOL a while back when upgradin to vShpere 6.0. I have 1 mission critical virtual server that resides on the VVOL, all my other VM's are on VMFS...

I am upgrading to vSphere 6.5 and doin this by implementing a new vCenter 6.5, then moving across the hosts from the 6.0 vCenter..

As this is production and we have no 3PAR test environment I need to know if I can connect the new 6,5 vCenter to the VASA at the same time as our 6.0 vCenter? I have moved across a couple of hosts that only run virtual servers on VMFS, and they are no longer able to connect to the VVOL, which I guess is because the 6.5 vCenter hasn't registered etc..

Any help greatly appreciated.

Gary.

Yup!

But ..... I think you'll need to be 3.2.2 or above. Down to which method of certificates you use (client based or server based).

Have a read of this : https://h20195.www2.hpe.com/v2/getpdf.a ... 907ENW.pdf

"Step 3: Determine VASA Provider SSL Certificate method" I think covers it off.

And you might want to have seperate containers for each environment.

* disclaimer, I'm only just going through the motions of implementing VVOLs myself, been doing a crash course on it, just firewalls between vCentre and the 3PAR holding me up (don't ask why we do that!!)
