Problem with installing SMVI vSphere Plugin

simonhaeni — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 06:50:50 GMT

Hello

I've got a problem with installing the SMVI vSphere Plugin (Windows Server 2008 R2, vSphere vCenter 4.1).

In the last steps of the installation i get the following error message:

The NetApp vSphere Plugin Framework hast not yet been started. Try to load localhost:8143/Register.html in your browser.

If it does not display, then there is a problem with the installation.

The application is installed after that, but no Plugin in the vCenter...

Can anybody help me?

greetings,

simon

Hello Simon

we had a s issue today, we could not install VSC 2.1 on Vcenter Server Windows 2008 R2 64 bit, the error message was exactly the same.

Our server is NOT MEMBER of a Active Directory Domain.

-There was no User Account Control Active

-We werde connected to the Console Session via RDP

"Run as Administrator" on the VSC-2.1-win64.exe did not work to Install the VSC successfully

After a few trials we:

Installed Java RuntimeEnviroment for 32bit Windows

and changed the Credentials for the NetApp VSphere Plugin Service from LocalSystem to the BULITIN\Administrator Account.

Then it worked fine for us.

regards Udo
