NetApp Active IQ Unified Manager

kk1 — Mon, 06 Apr 2026 09:49:33 GMT

Hello Community,

I have deployed a NetApp Active IQ Unified Manager instance in my private infrastructure and am currently working on integrating VMware components.

I was able to successfully add the vCenter Server under the VMware section. However, I am unable to see or add Virtual Machines (VMs) under the same section.

Could anyone please guide me on how to discover and display VMs in this setup, or let me know if any additional configuration is required?

Appreciate your help—thanks in advance!

Hi @kk1 ,

As per the NetApp documentation here View and add vCenter Server

You need to set the data collection setting in vCenter Server is set to the statistics level of Level 3, ensuring the required level of metrics collection for all the monitored objects. The interval duration should be 5 minutes, and the save period should be 1 day.

Thanks for the information. We tried to do that as well but it did not worked .
Also, is there any differences between a simulator instance and a real instance for NetApp Ontap.

I mean whenever we deploy a Simulator instance for OnTap Version 9.17.1. It gets crashed with warning root volume has in suffiencient space.
Also, We are not able to see any disk took by Ontap instance from vCenter server.
