Resources configured with VMware VMFS must be auto discovered by SnapCenter to enable specific operations required for these configurations.

Since HANA non-data volumes are always manually configured resources in SnapCenter, they are not supported by SnapCenter with VMFS.

SAP HANA multiple host systems must be configured using a central HANA plugin and are therefore manually configured by default. Such systems are also not supported by SnapCenter when using VMware VMFS.

The SnapCenter for VMware vSphere plugin must be deployed in the VMware environment.

Storage SVMs hosting the LUN’s must have a management interface configured, otherwise the SVMs will not be listed in SnapCenter when adding storage with the “add cluster” option and auto discovery operation will fail.

The parameter must be set as described in chapter “VM parameter disk.EnableUUID”, otherwise SnapCenter database auto discovery will fail.

SnapCenter must be configured to use REST APIs for storage communications. Otherwise, the create Snapshot operation will fail with the error message shown below.

The parameter "IsRestEnabledForStorageConnection" in the configuration file
C:\Program Files\NetApp\SMCore\SMCoreServiceHost.dll.config must be set to “true”.

<add key="IsRestEnabledForStorageConnection" value="true" />

After the change has been made, SnapCenter SMCore Service must be stopped and started.
