What are the prerequisites for installing the StorMagic SvSAN Plugin?

You need a VMware vSphere environment with vCenter access, the SvSAN OVA file, and network configuration details including IP address, DNS server, gateway, NTP server, and domain information. The plugin deploys as a virtual machine using the standard OVF template deployment process.

How do you register the SvSAN Plugin with vCenter after deployment?

After powering on the plugin VM, you log into the VM and run a registration command that connects the plugin to your vCenter instance. Once registered, the StorMagic plugin section appears in vCenter's Configure menu, enabling VSA deployment directly from the vSphere interface.
