Hi , I have two esxi box and one volume created in Netapp E series and added to one of the esxi box and created the vmfs data store and drives created and mounted to the Windows vm's . Now we have requirement to add the same netapp e series volume to the second esxi host . But when i tries to add the same volume to the ESXI group in e series it changing the LUN id 0 . So question is whether is doable or i have to follow some other method to add the same volume visible in two esxi box without the data loss . BR Sudhir T

Hello, I have an ONTAP Tools for VMWARE with version 9.13.1 that since few weeks ago is being reported in VCSA as using 100% cpu. The ova was installed with 12 Gb RAM and 4 vCPU's. I've increase the RAM on the OVA from 12 to 18, but nothing. I've also increased the vCPU's to 8, and also nothing. Few minutes after a reboot the performance is degraded as its using 100% cpu. Does anybody faced this issue anytime? Regards,

The role named "VSC Provision" has these custom privileges that appear to be added that apply only for ONTAP: NetApp ONTAP tools for VMware vSphere View privilege.nvpfVSC.Kamino.Datastore.com.netapp.nvpf.label Manage datastores Provision privilege.nvpfVSC.VASAGroup.com.netapp.nvpf.label View I have tried adding these privs to a custom vcenter role we created for users that are allowed to do most things a power user in vCenter would be able to do but they can't seem to use OTV at all. When they go to the OTV plugin, they can't see anything at all. If I change the role for the user to the "VCS Provision" role and log into vcenter again, they can see what they need to see. So, what privilege is actually being missed? What special thing is happening that OTV is missing or looking for that I'm not noticing?

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

We are trying to direct ONTAP Tools for VMware 9.13 straight to the SVM on a cluster. I've been finding a lot of different documentation on this process and feel like I've followed each of these as closely as possible but it just does not seem to work. I get messages like "can't discover controllers" and stuff like that even though I do believe I have the correct role set up in ONTAP for the svm. I will also share that the OTV appliance does not have any network access to the cluster management IP, only has network access to the SVM management LIF which is on the same network as the OTV appliance. Does anyone here in this forum know if this will work with this configuration where the OTV appliance can't talk to the cluster mgmt IP at all?
