Hello Toasters,
Our ontap clusters contain a number of SVM's. For purposes of this
post I'll classify our SVM's into two broad categories:
* SVM's that host storage resources for our ESXi clusters
* SVM's that do NOT host storage resources for our ESXi clusters
We initially direct connected VSC to the SVM's hosting VMware
resources. As documented by NetApp, this resulted in VSC provisioning
volumes (NFS datastores) then mounting them via indirect paths (our
SVMs have multiple lifs). We dont want datastores mounted via indirect
paths, nor do we want to deal with the other limitations associated
with direct connecting VSC to SVM's.
Now, AFAIK, the only option we're left with is connecting VSC to the
cluster management LIF. The catch is we only want to allow VSC
privileges to manage the SVM's hosting VMware resources. VSC should
not have privileges to the non-Vmware related SVMs.
Is there a way to connect VSC to the cluster management LIF while only
allowing VSC the ability to provision storage to and manage a subset
of SVM's on the cluster?
We're currently running VSC 6.2.1 and ONTAP 9.2P2.
-Phil
