Prevent NetApp OVM plugin from having access to all LUNs on the Filer

MONITOR_LINUX — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 05:34:17 GMT

Is there a way to prevent OVM from seeing every volume on the filer? After I installed the NetApp OVM plugin it gave full access to every LUN on the filer.

Hello,

Is it for 7mode or Clustered Data Ontap?

nkarthik, we are having the same issue. I do not want to take over from "monitor_Linux" post however, But i want to add to it.

Can anyone offer a solution here? We have a customer that is not able to setup vFilers on their FAS8020 (7-mode) HA pair (8.2.1) They have Fibre Channel LUN’s only for (3) customer’s that they want to keep hidden from each other. We were able to accomplish this by Zoning the HBA's from the Initiators in differnet zones on the SAN Brocade Switch.

– Here it the problem—

When they use the NetApp OVM Plug-in to administer their respective LUN's, -- they also can see all the LUN's for other customers, even thought they are in different Zones on the fibre SAN switch

Is there a way to stop this? We only want the user to see the LUN’s that are zoned to them when they use the NetApp OVM Plug-in

Hi,

it's not available with the current version. we don't have a provision to select specific volume during registration. we collect all the volume and their physical disks during registration based on the storage credential, but we will raise to oracle as a future request to select specific volume and their luns during storage registration.
