HP P6000 Command View 10.1 on VM hosted by vSphere 5.1

[SYSTEM]

I am trying to configure HP P6000 Command View 10.1 on a w2k8 R2 virtual machine hosted by VMware vSphere 5.1.

I am able to install Command View but I do not see the EVA 4400’s.

The ESXi servers see the EVA’s and all the LUN’s.

The RDM SAN based disk is visible by the servers and I added “Hard disk 2 Mapped Raw LUN” to the vm that is running Command View.

Has anyone successfully configured this and if so what am I missing?

Doesn't work with ESX unless you enable DirectPathIO and dedicate the FC HBA to the VM. That should be explained in the CV manual.
You can do this with Windows 2012 and their Synthetic Fibre Channel adaptor.
