Install the SnapCenter Custom Plug-ins on Linux hosts by using the command-line interface
You should install the SnapCenter Custom Plug-ins by using the SnapCenter user interface (UI). If your environment does not allow remote installation of the plug-in from the SnapCenter UI, you can install the custom plug-ins either in console mode or in silent mode by using the command-line interface (CLI).
Steps
-
Copy the SnapCenter Plug-ins Package for Linux installation file (snapcenter_linux_host_plugin.bin) from C:\ProgramData\NetApp\SnapCenter\Package Repository to the host where you want to install the custom plug-ins.
You can access this path from the host where the SnapCenter Server is installed.
-
From the command prompt, navigate to the directory where you copied the installation file.
-
Install the plug-in:
path_to_installation_bin_file/snapcenter_linux_host_plugin.bin -i silent -DPORT=port_number_for_host -DSERVER_IP=server_name_or_ip_address -DSERVER_HTTPS_PORT=port_number_for_server
-
-DPORT specifies the SMCore HTTPS communication port.
-
-DSERVER_IP specifies the SnapCenter Server IP address.
-
-DSERVER_HTTPS_PORT specifies the SnapCenter Server HTTPS port.
-
-DUSER_INSTALL_DIR specifies the directory where you want to install the SnapCenter Plug-ins Package for Linux.
-
DINSTALL_LOG_NAME specifies the name of the log file.
/tmp/sc-plugin-installer/snapcenter_linux_host_plugin.bin -i silent -DPORT=8145 -DSERVER_IP=scserver.domain.com -DSERVER_HTTPS_PORT=8146 -DUSER_INSTALL_DIR=/opt -DINSTALL_LOG_NAME=SnapCenter_Linux_Host_Plugin_Install_2.log -DCHOSEN_FEATURE_LIST=CUSTOM
-
-
Add the host to the SnapCenter Server using the Add-Smhost cmdlet and the required parameters.
The information regarding the parameters that can be used with the command and their descriptions can be obtained by running Get-Help command_name. Alternatively, you can also refer to the SnapCenter Software Cmdlet Reference Guide.
-
Log in to SnapCenter and upload the custom plug-in from the UI or by using PowerShell cmdlets.
You can upload the custom plug-in from the UI by referring to Add hosts and install plug-in packages on remote hosts section.
The SnapCenter cmdlet help and the cmdlet reference information contain more information about PowerShell cmdlets.
