You can install the QoSSIOC service and other services of the NetApp Element Plug-in for vCenter Server by deploying an Open Virtual Appliance (OVA) to create a new management node (mNode).
Before you begin
- You have vCenter Administrator role privileges.
- You have permissions to download software from the NetApp Support Site.
Steps
- Download the OVA for your NetApp HCI or NetApp Element software installation that contains the vCenter Plug-in (VCP) from the NetApp Support Software Downloads Site:
- Click the <Select Platform> drop-down list for NetApp HCI or NetApp Element software and select a version number.
- Click Go.
- Read and click through the required prompts, accept the EULA, and select the management node image you want to download.
- From vSphere Web Client, create a VM by deploying the OVA.
Note: The OVA download must be accessible to the vCenter Server.
- Power on the VM.
Note: Allocate a static IP address for the management node or modify the host name from the management node UI: https://<mNode address>:442.
