NetApp has release OnCommand 5.0, which replaces OnCommand System Manager 2 and VSC. This provides NetApp storage management, provisioning and cloning, and SMVI.
Provisioning and cloning and smvi was previously located in vCenter with VSC, and has been moved to the OnCommand 5 suite.
If you currently use VSC, you will need to uninstall it and remove the Pluig-In. Uninstalling VSC is straight forward and is done by running the installation program for VSC.
Removing the Plug-in is not so obvious. You will need to go to the MOB (Managed Object Reference) page for your vCenter server. To do this, point your browser to: http:// vCenter Server name/MOB
1) Select "content"
2) Select "extension manager"
3) Select your NetApp plug-in from the list
4) Click on the extension list, look at the properties and copy the key string
5) Go back one page on the browser, and look for unregister Extension on the Methods table
6) On the next screen, paste the copied string and click invoke Method, you will get the status as: "Method Invocation Result: void"
7) close the window and log back into the vSphere Client.
Now that VSC is uninstalled and the Plug-in removed, you can finish installing the OnCommand 5.0 suite.
