NetApp VASA / vSphere 5.5 doesn't seem to work?

l_mitchell · ‎2013-12-11

Hi all, has anyone had any issues with this?

vSphere 5.5 running on Server 2012 (non R2) with VSC 4.2.1 working OK on the same server.

VASA installed on a separate 2008 R2 machine

It is at the point where you add the VMware vCenter details (not the initial communication part). User has full administrator rights everywhere as well just in case! (VMware / NetApp even domain!)

I have had this twice now, once in a production environment and I have recreated it in a POC environment. the other parts of the configuration seem to work and connect fine.

I have not tried VC5.5 on 2008 R2 but thought I'd ask here first in case I've missed some smallprint somewhere...

Also did I read right that mode or is the future cluster mode?

Thanks guys

Are you using VASA Provider 1.0?

l_mitchell · ‎2013-12-12

Both recent installs, so the 1.0.1 version

Is there a newer version than this?

f_duranti · ‎2013-12-18

I've the same problem with vSphere 5.5 and the VASA adapter installed on a 2008R2 Server. It's not working.

When I try to register provider i get an error box saying "Authentication with the VASA Server failed." and no storage provider is created into vCenter.

gatorman1369 · ‎2014-01-09

Realizing that after my 5.5 upgrade, my VASA integration isn't working as before too. VASA 1.0 is on a separate 2008R2 VM. Worked with vSphere/center 5.1 but no longer. VSC is 4.2.1. To help out OP, my vCenter is on 2008R2 so I doubt server 2012 is your issue. The domain user I am trying to register with the vCenter is an admin now while I test this out... I had lower rights in a separate role but I'll elevate for now while I test.

gatorman1369 · ‎2014-01-09

Lighting Edit:

I uninstalled VASA 1.0 --- (Upgrade from 1.0 to 1.0.1 is not supported) - Says so from the download page of VASA 1.0.1

Rebooted VASA VM

Downloaded 1.0.1

Installed 1.0.1 on VASA VM

Launched the VASA configuration

Entered in my initial communication credentials with vCenter and clicked save

Entered my vcenter server name and other stuff, registered, worked!

Looked at my vCenter client (C# version) -> Storage Providers (to confirm if NVP was there)

Went back to the VASA configuration to register storage systems.

Mine seemed too easy to fix but it is working... with vSphere 5.5, vCenter 5.5 on 2008R2, VSC 4.2.1 installed on my vCenter server, VASA 1.0.1 on a 2008R2 VM, The Domain account used is in the administrator "role" for now and set all the way up to the Datacenter level , I'll change that back to the RBAC settings I had earlier and post back what I find.

It still don't work.

I've uninstalled, rebooted, installed 1.0.1. Tried to configure the connection and I still get "Authentication with the VASA Server failed"

I'm using an user that is Administrator on the 2 servers and has full admin privilege on vsphere.

Into the nvp.log file i get those error messages:

So it seems there's some certificate somewhere that is old and not compliant but I could not find where or what component has it.

gatorman1369 · ‎2014-01-23

@Francesco

Do you think the old plug-in is still registered?

ydk · ‎2014-01-23

@Francesco, this issue was fixed in VASA 1.0.1. So as posted by gatorman1369, I would first confirm if the old plug-in is still registered with vCenter. If it is, unregister and clean up the files and then register 1.0.1 plugin.

arunkump · ‎2014-01-24

Hi,

I have successfully configured VASA 1.0.1 for vCenter 5.5 (Windows) installed on Windows 2008 R2. I did get an error while trying to register the plugin from the VASA Provider configuraiton however the registration of VASA provider works fine when done from vCenter > Home > Storage Provider. This works for me from both vSphere C# & Web Client.

Here is a link where I have documeted the steps

http://highoncloud.blogspot.in/2013/12/netapp-vasa-provider-for-vmware-setup.html

I hope this helps !

I've tried to register from vcenter itself and I stille get an error. From the c# Client i get the error "A problem was encountered while registering the provider".

I've checked the extention on https://vcenter/mob page and it seems there's no vasa extention, this is the list of the extention present:

This is the error I get when if I do the registration from the vCenter C# version:
