VSC 2.0.1 upgrade from SMVI 2.0

steinhorst — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 07:00:35 GMT

Attempting to upgrade to VSC 2.0.1 from SMVI 2.0 and need to retain the snapshot schedules I created in SMVI over time as it would be a ton of work to rebuild everything. I have looked all over the place and haven't found any solid instructions on how to do this. Has anyone out there been able to do this?

Fred.

Hi Amrita,

What kind of advantages does VSC have over SMVI ?

Other then providing a single console of operation from VC ?

VSC 2.0.1 is our integrated plug-in that consists of storage console, provisioning and cloning capability (formerly RCU) and backup and recovery capability (formerly SMVI)

The SMVI and VSC 2.0.1 capabilites for backup and recovery are the same but it is integrated with vCenter making it easier for VI admins to manage.
