What are the requirements needed for a Live Volume to fail over automatically?

The volume must be Type Synchronous, use High Availability mode, and both the source and target Storage Centers must be at version 6.7 or later.

How can I restart the VMware vSphere Web Client service?

For Windows, access Server Manager > Services > and select Restart. For Linux, use 'service vsphere-client restart' or '/etc/init.d/vsphere-client restart'.

Why might my plugin registration fail with vCenter Server?

What if the Summary information in the vSphere Client Plugin appears blank?

This may happen, but ensure that the credentials entered for both vCenter server and Dell Storage Manager are correct.
