Shift Toolkit - Questions on error and requirements

tkonto — Wed, 25 Feb 2026 12:08:31 GMT

Hi All,

We are trying to run some test migrations from VMW to OCP.

However our efforts fail.

Specifically, we have TBC configured in our OCP cluster and configured both source (VMW) and destination (OCP).

Toolkit, recognizes 1 TBC in the destination (OCP) but zero storage.

When we try to create a resource group towards a blueprint, we get the following error

Failed to get TBC information Show less Failed to get TBC information: ESSRGMTV003: Unsupported volume "vm_tst_data001" for migration. No supporting Trident backend configuration found.

We have the following questions:

Does Shift Toolkit requires direct API access to the NetApp storage itself?
What is counted as "storage" for OCP in the Toolkit? It looks to us that TBC is the OCP storage and that should be fine.
What does the above error message actually mean? Is it a problem of the source (VMW) or of the destination (OCP) and what is the problem?

Attaching some related screenshots.

Best regards,

Theo
