I've got a few sims in my environment and it seems to work with 7.3x but have not been able to get any 8.X cluster mode to work. Will bring this up with the dev team and will send any feedback here.

Here's a link to our doc set http://communities.netapp.com/docs/DOC-10395#comment-4931 which includes the troubleshooting guide. If its still not populating , check the installation for required items within SCOM and move up to ApplianceWatch. Are you getting any errors in the logs? If you're still having problems, please contact NGS so they can assist with log collection.

Hi Erik, Unfortunately, I don't think we can do a unattended install of the agent in ApplianceWatch PRO without some custom scripting or other methods. We do have a new "Silent" installation feature coming in OCPM 3.0 which has batch option. Here's a snippet from the upcoming OnCommand Plugin for Microsoft 3.0 Installation Guide : The parameters and variables The parameters are passed to the setup.exe in the following order: (do not leave a space between the "v" and the quotation mark.) ocmsplugin-setup-3.0_x64_NetApp.exe /w /s /x /v"/qn SILENT_MODE=1" /w Waits until the installation is complete before exiting. If you are using the /w argument in a batch file, you might want to precede the entire Setup.exe command-line command with start /WAIT ...: start /WAIT ocmsplugin-setup-3.0_x64_NetApp.exe /w ... /s Specifies silent mode. /x Specifies uninstall mode. /v Passes the arguments to the installer /q Specifies silent installation with the following flags: n Does not create a user interface b Creates a basic user interface r Displays a reduced user interface f Displays a full user interface /x Also the link to the beta, which I see you've already joined http://communities.netapp.com/groups/oncommand-plug-in-30-for-microsoft-beta-program?view=overview

I think we only support the clone process if its a vhd as we can't see inside the pass-through lun but will get somebody to chime in. This sounds similar to the issue I had in my env. Also, just to be sure, we had a issue in 2.1.1 where a restart of the SSP service was required. Can you please confirm? http://now.netapp.com/NOW/cgi-bin/bol?Type=Detail&Display=459525

Hi Richard, I was able to find a few similarities in the errors and logs to some internal burts. I will see if we can get more details on this but it looks like it may be due to dns resolution, ip , or something of that nature. I've actually seen a similar error like this in the previous 2.1.1 version which turned out to be an issue with the location of my library share on a scvmm vm. Not sure if this is the same thing but will request more info and get back to you. Thanks for the feedback

I found a burt that may be related to the problem you've noted here. http://now.netapp.com/NOW/cgi-bin/bol?Type=Detail&Display=377102 Do you have a case open with NGS? May want to get them to log this in case it turns out to be a burt.

Just to be sure, was this LUN created by Snapdrive? Have you tried other LUNS to see if it works differently? If you're still having problems, its best to get NGS involved to help track the problem.

Were these luns created outside of SDW? Has it worked before? Have you tried creating new luns with SDW and connect? If you haven't already, please open a support case so they can collect logs if needed.

Are you getting SNMP errors? Have you opened a support case? If its a SNMP issue, check the host and storage for the proper SNMP settings. Ensure that all firewalls, ports, etc are open for any communication to and from the storage to the SCOM servers. Also please review the ApplianceWatch PRO 2.1.1 Best Practice Guide

Hi Brendon, Sorry for the late reply. Had a internal NetApp Event last week and haven't been able to review the communities. Oncommand Plug-in 3.0 is only going to work (tested and supported) with SCOM & SCVMM 2008. None of the other tools have been tested but will take your feedback to the dev team to see how difficult this would be to include.

Check the preferred filer ip address, check dns going both directions, and confirm the ip address that gets resolved if you have multiple interfaces. Do you have the host utility kit installed on the Hyper-v parent? VM's will not need it. If you haven't yet, please open a NGS case so they can track with logs.

Comments from A.W. - OCPM+Feature Request The integration pack for System Center Orchestrator wasthe biggest thing I wanted to see. I loaded the IP with no problems inOrchestrator 2012 Beta and was able to connect to one of our Netapp's on theother side of the country where I could modify volumes and checked out some ofthe disaster recovery features. I do not have any improvements at this time butI'm sure once Orchestrator goes live we will have plenty of suggestions foryou. Thank you for a great tool! Comments from B.H. - OCPM+Opalis Just spinning up some SQL 2005 clusters now to create runbooks using oncommand to fail service between data centres, via snapmirror. Have been busy with otherprojects but will have a good play with the Opalis (MS Orc Man 2012 in my case)and ApplianceWatch versions of Oncommand in the next couple of days. The install worked without issue but the documentation has holes in it around the Opalis side of things. Comments from M.A -OCPM+Report/Alert The product is great. I've been showing the screen shotsquite a bit. Unfortunately the documentation needs some work, which is entirely to be expected at this stage. The paths and processes are a little difficult for the average person to follow. I made my wife install and configure it (it's ok, she's an IT pro so it's not like I got a doctor or lawyer to try) and she picked out that the places you say to click don't actually exist where they are indicated. I have it monitoring six Filers, all different models and every one of them showing Critical for one reason or another. My biggest problem is stopping it monitor on NFS alerts which are the cause of most of the Criticals. We know about them and don't care so want to drop the alerting. I think I'm having a blonde moment because I just can't get it to override. I have time on Friday so I think that's going to bejob #1. Comments from G.S. - OCPM+cmdlets 1. Strings: The parameter validation, andcmdlet completion messages MUST be remove immediately! This significantlybreaks the pipeline, and offers absolutely no value to a powershell user. There is already sufficient progress indication provided by applying the –verboseswitch. 2. Object: Every cmdlet must return a properobject. You cannot write text to the console to give the appearance of anobject. Example Get-StorageSystemCredential. 3. Whatif/Confirm: Every cmdlet that makes achange or modification of any kind MUST support the –confirm, and –whatifswitches. They are assumed by most admins, and we’ll have some ticked offusers if we don’t. An example would be the Remove-StorageSystemCredentialcmdlet. Comments from B.H. - OCPM + Monitoring I like that vFilers are now listed in the Monitoring tab however. Have not been able to get the system working correctly yet but based on Applicance Watch 2.1 I would like snapmirror monitor to allow me to group my snapmirror status groups by designed snapmirror lag targets. ie every 15 minutes, 4 hours once per day etc. I could then alert once the lag times are missed. We are looking to use Opalis with SCOM to create alerts which send emails that include links to enable actions to be taken. ... Currently looking into using oncommand OIPs to migrate our SMSQL services between data centres. Comments from M.K - OCPM + Monitoring Vfiler functionaliy is not working correctly and does not report proper health status. ** Note: This has been reported to pteam and will be fixed in final release **

You noted you're trying to connect to a lun. Is this lun created by SDW? VMDK? Have you tried creating a new lun? As a test, create a test volume then try to create a lun from SDW.
