We have been evaluating SC 4.4 as we need to move away from SMO for Oracle 19c support. We are finding a lot of limitation on the SC UI around admin aspects that were easy in SMO. Some examples: Clone hierarchy not present in SC UI does not show a list of backups for all resources Backup to clone hierarchy would be better suited to a tree view Backups/Clones cannot have an arbitrary name specified at creation Limited tagging of entities to add metadat for admins/dev teams Some panes show loading when creating clones etc. UI should be more responsive In SMO we could provide a simply XML file that contyained all the SGA setup etc. for a clone. Nothing in SC UI for this. Need to do it manually each time. Perhaps I am not using the product as it is intended but these have proved very frustrating.

I have been evaluating SnapCentre and the Oracle Plugin (Linux). One thing that strikes me as missing is any kind of visualization of the clone hierarchy like we had in SMO. I'm finding it very difficult to track the clones back to the actual snapshots. This was all visualized in SMO.

Hello , We have a SnapCenter Standalone server in PROD ( using vsphere , exchange and SQL Plug-ins ) with more than 100 hosts configured .We would like now to configure a NLB environment to have HA in place . I know that Switching from a SnapCenter standalone installation to an NLB installation or vice versa and switching from a MySQL standalone setup to MySQL HA are not supported but i've a question : is it possible to create a new fresh NLB environment with 2 nodes ( different location ) and than restore the Reposiroty from previous standalone snapcenter server ? Maybe we also need to keep hostname and IP to use as NLB Virtual IP ?
