Hello NetApp Shift Toolkit support team, I am currently testing Storage Manager for Proxmox as a POC for our transition from VMWare to Proxmox VE. SMP version 1.0P2 I am reaching out to you because I noticed the following when testing the backup feature: After creating a resource group, it is not possible to edit and modify it, it is only possible to delete it from the SMP GUI. However it can be done by modifying directly the json file. Same thing for policies, after creating a policy, it is not possible to edit and modify it, it is only possible to delete it from the SMP GUI. However it can be done by modifying directly the json file. When creating a policy, the Replication options "Update SnapMirror after backup" and "Update SnapVault after backup" are grey-out in the SMP GUI but cannot be selected, even if the snapmirror replication for the selected volume is correctly configured from ONTAP end. Snapshot label cannot be specified, as used to be with SCV, with the specific label “VSC_JOB_DAILY”. Resource group or policy email notifications are not available. Will these features to modify resource group, policies and to enable the Replication options be soon available in a next version of SMP ? Thank you very much to take into account these feedbacks, that I am quite sure a lot of people already shared, and to come back with good news and enhancements in the very next version of SMP. Regards, Jef

When creating blueprints where Proxmox is the destination hypervisor (within the network mapping configuration), please make it so that SDN VNets can be selected in addition to individual host bridges (vmbr0, etc). In this example, an SDN zone type of "vlan" is used to create tagged VNets, which become VM-assignable bridges. These resources are pushed to all Proxmox hosts within the same cluster.

I am attempting to test migrations from VMware to Proxmox via the NetApp Shift Toolkit. I have added the source and destination platforms into the toolkit, provisioned Qtrees on the associated volumes, and discovery completes without issue. When I attempt to create a Resource Group, following the selection of datastore and target VMs, the Qtree selection dropdown appears empty and displays "No Options." Curiously, when I add KVM as a destination platform and walk back to the same Qtree selection, it is populated and shows the available entries as expected. Has anyone else experienced this issue with Proxmox as the destination platform specifically? The environments are as follows: VMware vSphere 8.0.3j ONTAP MetroCluster 9.16.1P9 (NFSv3) Proxmox 9.2.2

Hello, I am attempting to test migrations from VMware to Proxmox via the NetApp Shift Toolkit. I have added the source and destination platforms into the toolkit, and discovery completes without issue. On the VMware vSphere environment, the Networks are discovered. But no Networks are discovered on the Proxmox VE environment. This is causing a problem when I attempt to create a New Blueprint, as the Network Mapping is unvailable : "No more Destination network resources available for mapping" If I select the test option, the “Do no configure Network” is the default selection, but still the same "No more Destination network resources available for mapping". And when trying to continue creating the blueprint it fails with "Network Mapping can't be empty" The environments are as follows: VMware vSphere 7.0.3 ONTAP 9.16.1P10 (NFSv3) Proxmox 9.1.1 Regards, Jef

We are running a migration from Vmware to Proxmox. We have setup the shift tool application on Microsoft Windows os as that’s the only version we can see of the tool. We have a linux vm on VMware that we are wanting to migrate to proxmox and we are receiving the following error pasted below and if you need any logs please let me know.
