Applies to

  • NetApp Unified Appliance (UA) 9.x
  • VMware vSphere 6.x

Issue

When an in-place upgrade is performed on the UA, any user-created SCPs will no longer be usable while provisioning datastores. This is seen in the following circumstances:

  • Upgrades between major versions, 9.6 > 9.7
  • Upgrades between minor versions, 9.7 > 9.7P1

In this case, three user-created SCPs were created prior to upgrade

any_scp_template

customer_template

customer_template_2

VMware vSphere

After upgrade, the datastores are no longer present in the list of selectable SCPs in the datastore provisioning wizard.

VMware vSphere

The SCPs do appear in VSC > Storage Capability Profile, but the options for Update and Clone are grayed out.
