Manually refreshing the storage system and vSphere objects

Manually refresh the dashboard when storage system or vSphere objects get out of sync with the vSphere plug-in. The manual refresh rescans all the objects that the plug-in manages and restores the sync status.

Procedure

From the vSphere Plugin dashboard, click the Refresh icon.

Note: Refreshing the dashboard is a background, asynchronous process. During the process, the vCenter task, Populating information from IBM Storage Systems populates in the recent task list. During this brief refresh period, vCenter information might show out of date information.

The manual rescan gathers an inventory of vSphere related objects, queries the storage system for storage related objects, and refreshes the database that the vSphere Plugin manages.
