My VASA appliance got corrupted but now VSC won't let me unregister it so I can register the new deployment. How do I manually clear the VASA registration from VSC? ... View more

Ok! After some troubleshooting last night I was able to successfully create a VVOL container and provision VMs to it. The problems were: NDMP must be turned on in vserver mode NDMP is used by VASA/VSC to copy blocks at the storage layer rather than at the host layer when the blocks need to be moved between volumes The export policies need to be set to use the default export policy as that is what VSC always uses. The SVM root volume style needs to be set to Unix for the ESXi hosts to be able to write to the exported filesystem This is a new requirement that does not affect traditional NFS datastores. None of these changes was disruptive to anything else being done on the cluster or SVM. ... View more

So now I've created a VVOL and I even added another flexvol to it. However when I try to create a VM it fails. Gotta love Beta testing!! ... View more

Yep. I get the failure dialog then if I try to use the same name again it says it's already in use and if I use a new name, the volumes from before are not there. ... View more

Making the NDMP change allows me to see the SVMs now! Thanks for everyones support! I’m now able to get to the finish button but am now getting another error. Also, one UI question. Why do we lock the vCenter interface when our plugins are doing something? Why not just update the running tasks? ... View more

NDMP needs to be enabled? Is that documented somewhere? I'll enable it and let you know. Sent from my iPhone ... View more

I re-installed vCenter and VASA and now the plugin is registered. I'm now having issues with VASA not offering any SVMs when I try to create VVOL Datastore. ... View more

I can't seem to get the VASA provider registered either. Could it be because the VASA VP has an IPv6 address and I'm only setup for IPv4?

Hi We currently do not support Systems Manager 2.0 on Mac OSX Platform;  However we do have a build (based of the public beta Systems Manager build) that will run natively on a Mac OSX platform.  As with the public beta this will be supported on a best-effort volunteer basis via the communties; however, there will be no guarantee for support nor commitment to providing an OSX based client in future releases. Please do give us your feedback regarding your desire to run Systems Manager on an OSX platform and of course feedback for the product itself. ... View more
