Description
A SnapCenter compatibility check failed when you attempted to create a resource group. Reasons for incompatibility might be:
- VMDKs are on unsupported storage; for example, on an ONTAP system running in 7-Mode or on a non-ONTAP device.
- A datastore is on NetApp storage running Clustered Data ONTAP 8.2.1 or earlier.
SnapCenter 3.0 supports ONTAP 8.2.2 and later. SnapCenter versions 3.0.1 and 4.0 support ONTAP 8.3.1 and later.
The SnapCenter Plug-in for VMware vSphere does not perform compatibility checks for all ONTAP versions; only for ONTAP versions 8.2.1 and earlier. Therefore, always see the Interoprability Matrix Tool (IMT) for the latest information about SnapCenter support.
NetApp Interoperability Matrix Tool
- A shared PCI device is attached to a VM.
- A preferred IP is not configured in SnapCenter.
- You have not added the SVM management IP to SnapCenter.
- The SVM is down.
Error message
Some entities are not SnapCenter compatible
Corrective actions
- Make sure the SVM is running.
- Make sure that the storage system on which the VMs are located have been added to the SnapCenter Plug-in for VMware vSphere inventory.
- Make sure the SVM is added to SnapCenter. Use the Add storage system option on the SnapCenter GUI or on the VMware vSphere web client GUI.
- If there are spanning VMs that have VMDKs on both NetApp and non-NetApp datastores, then move the VMDKs to NetApp datastores.
