@hi All We upgraded vCenter to 8. I was running SC plugin 4.7, so went for new install of SC 6.1. SC plugin 6.1 comes without vmware tools. I can't install vmware tools. Throwing errors. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

We have SCV 4.x with latest ONTAP version (9.12 onwards) which works fine. It has vault backups. when we tried to restore a VM using vault backup it fails with error, "Unable to mount datastore failed to create lun clone:no input ESX initiator lds". In the secondary cluster, fcp service is up and has its wwpns zoned correctly with ESXi hosts at source. Also, the secondary SVM is added in storage systems section of SVC plugin. Is there anything we are missing here? Thank you!

We are currently running OnTAP Tools 9.11. I see that I can upgrade to 9.13 easily enough, but 10.0 seems to be a different animal altogether. The link belong talks about migrating from 9.x to 10, but I can't find information on upgrading. Does a separate OVA need to be deployed to 'upgrade' to 10? If so I can't find that documented anywhere. The article below talks about being able to migrate from 9.11 "D4", but not from 9.12 or 9.13. If I upgrade to 9.13, will I be able to migrate to 10? Can anyone provide clarity? Thanks in advance. https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/ontap-tools-vmware-vsphere-10/migrate/migrate_to_ng.html

I'm studying ONTAP tools and would like to better understand your perspective on the tool. I think the value it adds to administration is fantastic. But I'm also concerned about the risks if an attacker gains access to vCenter and can also directly damage the storage, such as deleting datastores, Snapmirrors, etc. 1) Is this risk worth the tradeoff for management agility? 2)How do you significantly reduce these risks? 3) Does it work well with Multi-Admin Approvals?

I'm trying to upgrade the self signed certificate of ONTAP Tools for vSphere version 10.4 to one signed by our internal MS CA. When doing so, I receive the error The payload for POST request is invalid. I already found KB: Unable to upgrade from certificate to CA in ONTAP Tools for VMware vSphere v10.3 - NetApp Knowledge Base This however does not help.
