I'm running v 3.1 of NMC - is this fixed in a newer version? Looks like its failing since one of the source volumes in 32 bit and the destination aggr is 64 bit? Source is 8.1RC2, Destination is 8.1GA (RC3)  - is there a command to upgrade the 32 bit volume in place to make the datamotion pass its checks? thanks === SEVERITY === Error:    Failed to select a resource. === ACTION === Select a destination resource for migrating === REASON === Storage system : 'irt-na04.abc.edu'(120):      - There are no aggregates with enough space and reliability/label match for all the volumes in the vFiler unit.

When will VAAI plugin be available ? The release notes say "coming soon" And the alignment detection is returning no VMs found although my datastores are full of 95% aligned VMs ... View more

I was excited to upgrade to the latest VSC 4 - esp to try the "online VM alignment" http://support.netapp.com/NOW/download/software/vsc_win/4.0/ New Features:  Virtual Storage Console 4.0 for VMware vSphere includes enhancements to all four capabilities. The Monitoring and Host Configuration capability adds support for the following: Data ONTAP® for Cluster-Mode Management of consolidated storage controller credentials These credentials apply to the Monitoring and Host Configuration capability, the Provisioning and Cloning capability, and the Optimization and Migration capability. Scanning for and flagging indirect paths used to access data for Cluser-Mode based NFS exports, and providing a list of potential direct data paths The NFS VAAI Plugin This is a software library that integrates with Virtual Disk Libraries and allows VMware software to execute certain primitives on NetApp storage controllers. The Provisioning and Cloning capability enables you to perform the following tasks: Provision and manage NFS and VMFS datastores on storage systems running Data ONTAP for Cluster-Mode Use the Monitoring and Host Configuration capability to add and remove storage systems A new capability, Optimization and Migration, enables you to perform the following tasks: Review the alignment status of virtual machines Perform online alignment of virtual machines by migrating them into optimized VMFS datastores Migrate a group of virtual machines into new or existing datastores -- But the upgrade hangs on the vCenter register step - spinning forever on: https://localhost:8143/Register.html Windows 2008 shows the Netapp service is running...

It takes almost 6 hours to run the initial snap mirror sync for this vFiler migration, and its failed twice with Waiting for SnapMirror-Resync to complete on 'dbdev2, dbdev5, dbdev7' flex-clones… then SnapMirror Resync failed: Reason: SnapMirror error: Volume is a clone and scanners have not completed on the parent volume: cannot execute operation Src and dest are 3270 clusters running 8.1RC2 This is the last remaining migration blocking our long awaited shelf upgrade - and we have a case open with Netapp Anyone seen this one and worked around it?

Hi I am attempting to migrate this video-vf-01 vFiler from one 3270 8.1RC2 cluster to another 3270  8.1RC2 cluster and I am encountering the error below. The destination has > 20Tb free - so space is not an issue. So why is it failing? I get the same error if I choose a FC aggregate as the destination. Is there a testpoint to make this work? thanks, Fletcher http://vmadmin.info Conformance Results === SEVERITY === Error:    Failed to select a resource. === ACTION === Select a destination resource for migrating === REASON === Storage system : 'irt-na02'(152):      - There are no aggregates with enough space and reliability/label match for all the volumes in the vFiler unit.

Hey guys - we are upgrading our clusters to 8.1RC2 (while adding a pile of new disk) I'm opening a case - looks like we might need a testpoint to pass this bogus check with NMC 3.1 (BTW we used to download NMC via DFM - but now DFM is EOL'ed - so where does NMC come from?) The image insert on this forum is erroring out - so here is the error: https://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=1BLKr-28FnCUkPZV5vx97NL3wdfaoW2mRmjs46ni_ewo thanks Fletch. ... View more

Hi, We are running v 3.6 of Insight Balance - its connected fine to our vCenter and discovered most VMs. But when we attempt to Discover->StorageArrays -> Add Storage Array and provide the IP and credentials the response is always "Could not complete login to this storage array because of an incorrect username or password" The login is the same that works for direct SSH The netapp arrays are on the same subnet as Insight Balance (no firewalls blocking) Anyone offer advice? thanks http://vmadmin.info ...

Our vCenter (v5)  on ONTAP 7.3.5.1P2 is logging these every 30 minutes and its blowing up our daily vCheck report - its puzzling since the plugin seems to have working authentication (we see vFiler datastores and hosts etc) - so what is it complaining about?  I see many folks with this error going back 10 months - As mentioned in this thread before it got locked: http://communities.netapp.com/thread/10472?start=105&tstart=0 Our errors: com.netapp.smvi.security.authentication.vsphere.VSphereAuthenticator - Failed to authenticate vSphere sessionId %s com.vmware.vim.InvalidLoginFaultMsg    at com.netapp.smvi.VimClient.createUserSession(VimClient.java:195)    at com.netapp.smvi.VimClient.validateLogin(VimClient.java:131)    at com.netapp.smvi.VimClient.(VimClient.java:74)    at com.netapp.smvi.VimClientFactory.getVimClient(VimClientFactory.java:105)    at com.netapp.smvi.security.authentication.vsphere.VSphereAuthenticator.isValidSession(VSphereAuthenticator.java:44) at com.netapp.smvi.security.authentication.handler.VSphereAuthenticationHandler.authenticate(VSphereAuthenticationHandler.java:27) at com.netapp.smvi.security.authentication.AuthenticationChainManager.authenticate(AuthenticationChainManager.java:39) at com.netapp.smvi.security.PasswordHandler.handle(PasswordHandler.java:75)    at org.apache.ws.security.processor.UsernameTokenProcessor.handleUsernameToken(UsernameTokenProcessor.java:160) at org.apache.ws.security.processor.UsernameTokenProcessor.handleToken(UsernameTokenProcessor.java:56) at org.apache.ws.security.WSSecurityEngine.processSecurityHeader(WSSecurityEngine.java:326) at org.apache.ws.security.WSSecurityEngine.processSecurityHeader(WSSecurityEngine.java:243) at org.apache.cxf.ws.security.wss4j.WSS4JInInterceptor.handleMessage(WSS4JInInterceptor.java:179) at org.apache.cxf.ws.security.wss4j.WSS4JInInterceptor.handleMessage(WSS4JInInterceptor.java:66) at org.apache.cxf.phase.PhaseInterceptorChain.doIntercept(PhaseInterceptorChain.java:236) at org.apache.cxf.transport.ChainInitiationObserver.onMessage(ChainInitiationObserver.java:104) at org.apache.cxf.transport.servlet.ServletDestination.invoke(ServletDestination.java:99)    at org.apache.cxf.transport.servlet.ServletController.invokeDestination(ServletController.java:350) at org.apache.cxf.transport.servlet.ServletController.invoke(ServletController.java:182)    at org.apache.cxf.transport.servlet.AbstractCXFServlet.invoke(AbstractCXFServlet.java:163)    at org.apache.cxf.transport.servlet.AbstractCXFServlet.doPost(AbstractCXFServlet.java:141)    at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:637)    at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:717)    at org.mortbay.jetty.servlet.ServletHolder.handle(ServletHolder.java:487)    at org.mortbay.jetty.servlet.ServletHandler.handle(ServletHandler.java:362)    at org.mortbay.jetty.security.SecurityHandler.handle(SecurityHandler.java:216)    at org.mortbay.jetty.servlet.SessionHandler.handle(SessionHandler.java:181)    at org.mortbay.jetty.handler.ContextHandler.handle(ContextHandler.java:726)    at org.mortbay.jetty.webapp.WebAppContext.handle(WebAppContext.java:405)    at org.mortbay.jetty.handler.ContextHandlerCollection.handle(ContextHandlerCollection.java:206) at org.mortbay.jetty.handler.HandlerCollection.handle(HandlerCollection.java:114)    at org.mortbay.jetty.handler.HandlerWrapper.handle(HandlerWrapper.java:152)    at org.mortbay.jetty.Server.handle(Server.java:324)    at org.mortbay.jetty.HttpConnection.handleRequest(HttpConnection.java:505)    at org.mortbay.jetty.HttpConnection$RequestHandler.content(HttpConnection.java:842)    at org.mortbay.jetty.HttpParser.parseNext(HttpParser.java:648)    at org.mortbay.jetty.HttpParser.parseAvailable(HttpParser.java:205)    at org.mortbay.jetty.HttpConnection.handle(HttpConnection.java:380)    at org.mortbay.jetty.bio.SocketConnector$Connection.run(SocketConnector.java:228)    at org.mortbay.jetty.security.SslSocketConnector$SslConnection.run(SslSocketConnector.java:620) at org.mortbay.thread.BoundedThreadPool$PoolThread.run(BoundedThreadPool.java:450) I'd like to keep using the plugin if we can resolve this thanks http://vmadmin.info ...
