Attempting to upgrade Ontap Tools for VMware vSphere from 9.10 to 9.11 and the upgrade fails. I go through the process of downloading the ISO, snapping the server, and then logging into the maintenance console. I enter 8 at the prompt and then yes, yes, and the upgrade starts. After about 7 or 8 minutes, I get the message "Virtual appliance upgrade failed. Contact NetApp customer support and provide the necessary log information." When I look at the log, it's 89 lines of "command not found" and then finally on line 90 it states: "syntax error near unexpected token '(' 'debsig: Verified package from 'Vee appliance packages' (VeeBuilder)' Looking back at vSphere (7.0.3) I get messages that plugin 9.10 successfully uninstalled and then another that 9.11 successfully installed. I can restore back to the snap but why is my upgrade install failing? Honestly, I'd estimate that 50% or so of my attempts at upgrading fail with this product and I'd really like to get to the bottom of the issue. The product seems to run just fine, but the upgrade process is terrible (for my environment, your mileage may vary). Anybody have any suggestions? I have not yet opened a ticket with NetApp but I'll be doing that in a few minutes. Thanks!

Hello community, I'm testing the deployment of the snapcenter Plugin for vSphere as .OVF-file on our environment. The installer stops because of an invalid certificate. In former versions there was only an untrusted certificate warning that could be acknowledged. That's no longer possible. I already tried different versions of the Snapcenter plugin for vSphere (4.6 P1 & 4.7). and vCenter server (7.0.3g, 7.0.3h & 7.0.3i) The deployment of other appliances such as Active IQ Unified Mangager worked fine. Do you experienced the same issues? Greetings Tobias

Is there a way to control storage system discovery in OnTAP Tools? For years this tool discovers 30+ storage units that aren't NetApp which just clutters up the screen. I prefer a nice clean screen of just the objects I need to manage. Is there a "hack" to prevent the automatic discovery from occurring, or at least to streamline it?

Hi, does anyone have a download link for the latest OnCommand API Services which is needed when using Ontap 9.6 or earlier with vVols? On the NetApp download page it's not listed. Regards, Frank.

We just configured a second vCenter server and connected it to our existing one via Enhanced Linked Mode. Everything i read indicated we need to stand up NEW SnapCenter and OnTAP Tools plug-ins for the new vCenter even if it's linked mode. However, within minutes, the new vCenter discovered the plug-ins on the existing vCenter and installed them on the new one, including the two NetApp plug-ins. How should we handle this situation? Once we move some hosts over, my understanding is that the existing plug-in won't work .
