How to get the datastores (vSphere) / volumes (ONTAP) of VMs protected by SC Server using Cmdlet CLI

benaph — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 09:59:03 GMT

Hi,

We need to get the datastores (vSphere) / volumes (ONTAP) of VMs protected by SnapCenter Server using Cmdlet CLI. A RESP API alternative is OK.

Context

For this scenario all the VMs has SCO (Oracle database) plugin for Linux installed and are VMDK-based. We have SCV for integration between SC Server and vSphere. We are using SC 4.4P2 + SCV 4.4P1.

Thank you in advance.

Best regards,

Ben

Context (cont.)

We also have another SC Server used to protect HANA databases in NFS-based VMs. In those cases we simply use Get-SmResources -PluginCode $plugin -HostName $host -ListStorageFootprint to retrieve the required information.

REST APIs are available for SCV:

Hi, @aladd ,

I really appreciate your response. Unfortunately I could not find a single operation of the SCV REST API that returns the information I require: the names of the datastores / volumes of a VM at the time of the query. Maybe I couldn't identify it, would you please be so kind as to point me to the operation that returns this information?

Thank you very much.

Best regards,

Ben

Hi,

In other words, we need somethig equivalent to Get-SmResources -PluginCode 'HANA' -HostName $hostname -ListStorageFootprint for ORACLE databases on VMDK file systems. It seems -ListStorageFootprint parameter is not supported on that environment.

Any suggestion?

Best regards,

Ben
