VSC 5.0 Discovery fails to find all SVMs

[jdailyehcmail]

Virtual Storage Console (VSC) 5.0 will not discover all of the Clustered ONTAP 8.2.1 storage virtual machines (SVM) in our vSphere 5.5 environment.

The cluster and two of the three SVM names will appear in the Storage Systems inventory, but we are unable to show the third SVM without a direct connection.  We prefer to use the cluster administrative LIF to take advantage tunneled auto-discovery and avoid any issues from direct connections to the SVM.

The missing SVM has a management LIF and the ontapi (Remote Administrative API Support) web service is enabled (verified on cluster via “vserver services web show”).  We also tried restarting the VSC service per the VSC 5.0 with two ONTAP Clusters discussion.

What might we be missing?

Did you ever resolve your issue?

VSC 5.0P1

vCenter 5.5.0

I'm trying to add my new DOT 8.3RC1 system to VSC and it acts like it adds but there is no details beyond capacity info and interfaces.   It doesn't list any of the SVMs even though they have a management lif that I can ping.

Hi,

I also had the same issue with VSC 6.0 where the SVM was not being displayed. Here is the solution that worked for me:

Check there is a domain-tunnel created for you vserver. EG

cluster1>domain-tunnel show

If your vserver is not displayed in the output then create a domain-tunnel. EG

cluster1>domain-tunnel create -vserver vserver1
