The only VSC plugin that is able to talk with DOT 8.1 (required for FAS2240 is this DOT version). Everything seem to work except the snapshot based backups that gives the following message: "<SPAN style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; color: #1f497d;">did not find any of the datastores or virtual machines to backup</SPAN>". We make sure that we operate on datastores hosted on the FAS2240 and that everything is registered and authenticated. Any ideas?</P><P>Many thanks</P><P>Jose</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 05 Jun 2025 06:35:45 GMT https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Discussions/VSC4-0-in-DOT-8-1-is-unable-to-perform-snapshot-based-backups-in-Vcenter/m-p/20839#M4913 jmartins 2025-06-05T06:35:45Z Re: VSC4.0 in DOT 8.1 is unable to perform snapshot based backups in Vcenter https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Discussions/VSC4-0-in-DOT-8-1-is-unable-to-perform-snapshot-based-backups-in-Vcenter/m-p/20842#M4914 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Should we escalate to the PM?</P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 03 Feb 2012 10:17:44 GMT https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Discussions/VSC4-0-in-DOT-8-1-is-unable-to-perform-snapshot-based-backups-in-Vcenter/m-p/20842#M4914 jmartins 2012-02-03T10:17:44Z Re: VSC4.0 in DOT 8.1 is unable to perform snapshot based backups in Vcenter https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Discussions/VSC4-0-in-DOT-8-1-is-unable-to-perform-snapshot-based-backups-in-Vcenter/m-p/20846#M4916 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Had the same issue today.</P><P></P><P>Turns out I had not added the storage controllers to the setup section of VSphere.
