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 .

Hi All Following Environment: Clustered Data ONTAP 8.2.2P1 ESX/Vcenter Client 5.5 Protocol NFS In the Datastore Browser we see only the .snapshot directory from the Volume, which is mouted to the / of the Namespace. All underlying Volumes doesn't show the .snapshot Directory.

I am posting for the first time. I'm sorry for my poor English. I want to set up a script to send an SNMP trap when a backup fails with the SnapCenter Plug-in for VMware (SCV). What kind of script should I create? If you have a sample, please share it.

Hello, I decided to upgrade my existing ONTAP Tools for VMware vSphere 9.8p2 install up to 9.10 and the installation completed successfully but now when I attempt to open the tool from the administrative menu, the "Overview" windows just displays "Loading..." The same shows up when I click on "Storage Systems". Neither of these windows display any information. Other windows like "Storage Mapping" will pull up information after 10 seconds or so. The two other windows mentioned will not display information even if I leave them for an hour or more. I have restarted the ONTAP Tool appliance and that makes no difference. I have also restarted the vCenter appliance. I have also verified that the credentials being used are correct. Another issue that is related is that when I right click on a server in my vSphere environment and go to "NetAPP ONTAP tools", I no longer get the full menu of items that I used to. I only get an option to "Assign QoS". If I click on that I get the message " Datastore details are currently being fetched from storage, refresh after discovery has been completed successfully." I don't want to actually configure QoS at this point; it's the only menu option available so I clicked on it. I performed this update a couple of days ago and the refresh discovery never completes. I opened a support ticket with VMware but once they figured out that the plug-in deployed correctly, they told me that it wasn't their issue to fix and that I should speak with NetApp support. 🙂 Does anyone have any suggestions?
