Applies to

  • Element OS 9.x
  • Element OS 10.x
  • ONTAP vVOLs
  • VMWare vCenter 6.x
  • vCenter Plugin 3.x 

Issue

  • Some of the vVOLs are showing as inaccessible
  • When creating a storage container and datastore using the vCenter Plugin for vVols on SolidFire, the datastore shows as 0 bytes in vCenter after creation.
  • Storage container creation with datastore completes, but the resulting datastore shows as 0 bytes rather than the selected value.
  • ESX hosts connected to the datastore show SSL errors in /var/log/vvold.log
