Some data and options are not shown in IBM Storage Protect vSphere Client plug-in if the IBM Storage Protect server administrator ID is not available. This ID must be configured in the Data Protection for VMware vSphere GUI.

If data or options are not shown in IBM Storage Protect vSphere Client plug-in and a message is displayed specifying that the administrator ID cannot be found, complete the following steps in the Data Protection for VMware vSphere GUI to set and save the administrator ID:

  1. In the GUI menu bar, click Configuration.
  2. Select Edit IBM Storage Protect Configuration in the Tasks menu.
  3. On the Server Credentials page, complete the following steps:

    2. Select the Save the administrator ID, password, and port settings for use in future sessions check box.
      If an administrator ID is configured, but this check box is not selected, the administrator ID will not be available for IBM Storage Protect vSphere Client plug-in sessions.
