Display SATPs for the Host

Use the esxcli command to list VMware NMP SATPs loaded into the system. Display information about the SATPs.

In the procedure, --server=server_name specifies the target server. The specified target server prompts you for a user name and password. Other connection options, such as a configuration file or session file, are supported. For a list of connection options, see Getting Started with vSphere Command-Line Interfaces.

Prerequisites

Install vCLI or deploy the vSphere Management Assistant (vMA) virtual machine. See Getting Started with vSphere Command-Line Interfaces. For troubleshooting, run esxcli commands in the ESXi Shell.

Procedure

• ♦ To list VMware SATPs, run the following command:
  esxcli --server=server_name storage nmp satp list
