Hi all, I miss a API call to assign a QoS Policy to an individual VM. https://docs.netapp.com/vapp-98/topic/com.netapp.doc.vsc-iag/GUID-A1C6F14F-C539-42A9-B6B8-379608C1709F.html Will this come in future or didn't I find it? Regards BN

Latest Virtual Storage Console for VMware vSphere only supports up to vSphere 6.7
For a while now VMWare went to vSphere version 7. What is the ETA for a new version of Virtual Storage Console for VMware vSphere and a NetApp NFS Plug-in for VMware VAAI that supports vSphere 7 ?
In a demo pool I implemented a virtual storage console on a vSphere 7. The VASA ( NetApp NFS Plug-in for VMware VAAI 1.1.2) provider is installed on the ESXi hosts but showing as not being capable of hardware acceleration in the vSphere 7 client. The option to Rapid clone is not available. The virtual storage console is available and shows information inside the vSphere 7 client but there isn't much to do. It lost alot of functionality compared to vSphere 6.7 environment.

Hey all, I don't know if here is the right place to ask, please be patient 🤗 We have On-prem environment based on VMWare vsphere (a few ESXi hosts and VMware VCenter). We also have Snap Center plugin for vmware VCetner installed on the VCenter itself, and a dedicated server for backups (snap center server on windows os, snap center version 4.0) Since the plugin for VCenter is installed, we can to do a simple recovery actions from snapshots (restore a single vmdk file, de-attach and attach disks, restore entire vm, etc...). Those actions automatically creats a datastore (usually named snap-<some uid>) managed by the snap center vmware 'run as account'. I will call these 'snap center datastores' However, a regular user still can create Virtual disks on these datastores - makig it difficult to manage. We thought create a storage policy that prevent a regular VM disks reside on Datastore generated by the snap center. For this to come out, we need to find a way to attach vmware tag to each datastore created by the snapcenter. Is it possible to define some vmware storage tag added automatically to those datastores when they are created? This is important for us since we have some "leftovers" - snap center datastores being kept for a long time for some research reasons. Hope this message is clear enough 😊 Tankwell

Hello,
Does anyone have a construct of NetApp VSC / Snapcenter plugin VMware and VMware Site Recovery in use? Since Site Recovery version 6.5, after activating/setting up Site Recovery Manager in NetApp VSC 6.2.2, the Backup item has disappeared. Only after deactivating the SRM and reinstalling the VSC is the backup point available again. The VMs which are replicated with Site Recovery Manager to the other location and booted there in case of a failure of location "A" are located in an extra datastore. A Metrocluster is unfortunately not an alternative... Does anyone have this also working in use with a Snapcenter?
Cheers,
Peter
