Vmware Storage Manger VSM v3.5,  (formerly known as ASM/VE) has been released to the web.  It's much improved so I would suggest you give it a try. 
I've installed and configured all of the neccessary options in HITVE and the "virtual storage manager" does not pull through? In my home screen, under "Solutions and Applications" - it only shows three of the default HITVE components, but not Virtual Storage Manager? Any ideas? I've un-published HITVE, restarted, rebooted vCentre, all the common troubleshoots - but still no module?
EqualLogic "virtual storage manager" does not appear in viClient
