Netapp VSC compatibility with vCenter 8

Julien_Mos — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 09:47:36 GMT

Hello,

When i tried to deploy the VSC console on my vCenter i get this error message :
Error deploying plug-in. org.osgi.service.subsystem.SubsystemException: Framework could not resolve the bundles:.......

Maybe the VSC is not compatible with vCenter 8 ?

You have not mentioned VSC version ? (Virtual Storage Console)

Let me know I can check the compatibility.

I checked, for vCenter 8.0, it only shows up ONTAP tools for VMware 9.12, screenshot attached. It suggests to me that the VSC 9.7.1 may be unsupported (It is anyway marked as EOVS). It may be worth just switching to ontap tools for VMware.

I am gonna try it.
For now, when i try to download it from Netapp website, it tells me that "

Oops - Something went wrong..."
As soon as i can get it i will try.

Okey i could download it and install it and now i can see the VSC plugin ! But, my storage is Lenovo DM serie so when i am trying to add it says the vendor is not compatible.

So i tried with to download the Ontapp tools on Lenovo Website, but the version is to older for vcenter 8....
Do somebody has the solution ?

But you have a Lenovo DM storage too ?

I think you may have to contact Lenovo DM Storage support. I can see the link for download but it's not updated. But, they have docs for 9.12, so the version should be available for download. Please enquire with Lenovo Support.

Here you can find the response of Lenovo :
OTV 9.12. is currently in final testing, plan was to release it by June 30th, so I hope it will be ready next week.
So we just have to wait ! Ty for your help
