You should deploy the virtual appliance for Virtual Storage Console (VSC), VASA Provider, and Storage Replication Adapter (SRA) in your environment, and specify the required parameters, to be able to use the appliance.
If ICMP is disabled, then the initial configuration of the virtual appliance for VSC, VASA Provider, and SRA fails, and VSC cannot start the VSC and VASA Provider services after deployment. You must manually enable the VSC and VASA Provider services after deployment.
If you are deploying a fresh installation of the virtual appliance for VSC, VASA Provider, and SRA, then VASA Provider is enabled by default. But in case of an upgrade from an earlier release of the virtual appliance, the state of VASA Provider is retained and you might need to enable VASA Provider manually.
