You can change the administrator password using ONTAP tools Manager to enable services like VASA Provider, import of vVols configuration, and disaster recovery (SRA) using ONTAP tools Manager.

Steps

  1. Launch ONTAP tools Manager from a web browser: https://<ONTAPtoolsIP>:8443/virtualization/ui/

  2. Log in with the ONTAP tools for VMware vSphere administrator credentials you provided during deployment.

  3. Select the Edit Appliance Settings in the overview section.

  4. In the Services section, you can enable optional services like VASA Provider, import of vVols configuration, and disaster recovery (SRA) as per your requirement.

    When enabling the services for the first time, you must create the VASA Provider and SRA credentials. These are used to register or enable the VASA Provider and SRA services on the vCenter Server. The username can only contain letters, numbers, and underscores. Password length should be between 8 and 256 characters.

    Note Before disabling any optional services, ensure that the vCenter Servers managed by ONTAP tools do not use them.

    The Allow import of vVols configuration option is shown only when the VASA Provider service is enabled. This option enables the vVols data migration from ONTAP tools 9.xx to ONTAP tools 10.4.
