Snapcenter same installation different Installation paths

[brauntisc]

Hi All 

Can someone explain to me following behaviour:

Snapcenter test-environment:

Version: 4.1.0.1738

Installation path Web_App: C:\inetpub\wwwroot\SnapCenter

Repository path: C:\inetpub\wwwroot\SnapCenter\Repository

Snapcenter production-environment:

Version: 4.1.0.1738

Installation path Web_App: C:\Program Files\NetApp\SnapCenter WebApp

Repository path: C:\ProgramData\NetApp\SnapCenter\Package Repository

The Problem is that prod snapcenter search for new plug-ins in path "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\SnapCenter\Repository" and  finds nothing, because the repository is in an other path (see above😞

 "Could not find a part of the path 'C:\inetpub\wwwroot\SnapCenter\Repository\cf.xml'"  in logfile "C:\Program Files\NetApp\SnapCenter WebApp\App_Data\log\SnapManagerWeb.log"

The effect of this is: the current plugin shows as unsupported plugin and a new one after a software update isn't recognized.

When I copy the entire contents from "C:\ProgramData\NetApp\SnapCenter\Package Repository" to "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\SnapCenter\Repository\" then all things works as expected.

TIA

Looks like that in the test environment you did a SnapCenter upgrade from a previous version while in the production environemt you did a fresh install. is that correct?

And  then what do you meand the SC search for new plugins in tha mentioned path?

during which operation you see that?

Hi 

Yes this is Correct (Upgrade vs Fresh install). Thanks for your explanation.
