Hi, this is a new installation of ONTAP tools for VMware vSphere 10.5. When we click on the OTV plugin within vCenter, buttons are all greyed out - hovering over displays "Insufficient privilege" Per the following NetApp KB, we've verified that both forward and reverse DNS is functioning normally: https://kb.netapp.com/data-mgmt/OTV/VSC_Kbs/Insufficient_privilege_in_OTV_10_x_options We've also already added the OTV service account as a member to the global AD Security group: "vSphere8 vCenter Admins" and assigned that same AD Security Group to the vCenter "Administrator" role and it doesn't work. We also attempted an OTV installation using the vsphere.local admin account and that too also didn't work. We've attempted the installation and setup on 2 separate/different lab (test/dev/non-prod) environment vCenter's and seeing the same behavior across them both. Any ideas?

@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?
