1) Unified Appliance Overview
2) Virtual Storage Console 7.1
3) VASA Provider 7.1
4) Storage Replication Adapter 7.1
5) SnapCenter 4.0 Plug-in for VMware
6) Import Utility for SnapCenter &
Virtual Storage Console

3. Unified Appliance Overview
 Consolidation of software products for VMware:
 Virtual Storage Console (VSC)
 vStorage APIs for Storage Awareness (VASA)
 Storage Replication Adaptor (SRA)
 Simple and easy method of deploying and maintaining the VSC, VASA & SRA products.
 No need for the products to be registered with each other as they all run in the same
appliance.
 Scalable, capable of catering to small, medium and large deployments.
 Reduced license burden as the OVA appliance runs on a Linux OS.
 Application High Availability via the virtual appliance watchdog process.
 All three products can be individually configured via a unified interface.

4. Appliance High Availability
 New Appliance Watchdogs
 In addition to the VMware vSphere HA solution and vSphere FT solution, the virtual appliance also helps keep the VSC, VASA
Provider, and SRA services running at all times. The virtual appliance watchdog process periodically monitors all three services,
and restarts them automatically when any kind of failure is detected. This helps the services have no downtime.
 vCPUs of UA are reduced to 2 (from 4) - To allow UA deployment in vSphere FT configuration with Standard or Enterprise license
 Two watchdogs have been implemented which monitors the below services:
 VSC service
 On detecting a VSC service crash or hang, the vscserver_watchdog automatically dumps the logs and restarted the VSC service as can
be seen below. This watchdog monitors the services for every minute.
 VP and SRA Service
 Derby Database Service
 On detecting a crash or hang of the VP/SRA service or the Derby database service, the vpserver_watchdog automatically dumps the logs
and restarts both the services.
 Additionally, both these watchdogs have been enhanced to delete any old or redundant logs
 The hung_restart, dead_restart, hprof dumps were occupying extensive amount of disk space earlier. These watchdogs ensure
that these files are either zipped or deleted periodically so that customer does not run out of disk space.

 Follow only installation instructions from the OnCommand API Services Installation and Setup
guide.
 Do not perform any configuration for OnCommand API Services post-installation (like adding
storage systems manually), as the virtual appliance for Virtual Storage Console (VSC), VASA
Provider, and Storage Replication Adapter (SRA) takes care of configuration.

Recommendation Notes
VSC 6.2.1 Y N 1. Register with SC 2.0
2. Re-create backup jobs based on SC policies
3. Upgrade to SC 3.0
4. Migrate backup jobs to SCV
5. Install/Upgrade to VSC 7.0 for non-B&R features
• Cannot register VSC 6.2.1 with SC 3.0
• If customer needs to keep retention for old VSC backup jobs,
they should suspend the jobs and the retention should be set to
age based (for automatic cleanup of backups)
• If using linked-mode, follow steps for each VSC instance
VSC 6.2.1 Y Y • Stay on VSC 6.2.1 until rid of 7-Mode backup jobs
• Optional: Register with SC 2.0 to run cDOT backup
jobs, however will not be able to upgrade to SC 3.0
until rid of 7-Mode backup jobs
• Upgrading to SC 3.0 will break all backup jobs and will be an
unsupported configuration

VSC 6.2.1 + SC 2.0 Y N 1. After registering with SC 2.0, re-create backup jobs
based on SC policies
2. Upgrade to SC 3.0 and migrate backup jobs to SCV
3. Install/Upgrade to VSC 7.0 for non-B&R features
• Backup jobs not re-created with SC policies will break after
upgrading to SC 3.0
• VSC 6.2.1 will be disabled from vCenter after migrating backup
jobs to SCV
• If customers re-enable VSC 6.2.1 then it will not be a supported

• If they do upgrade to SC 3.0, it will be an unsupported
configuration and they will need to downgrade to SC 2.0 for
support
SCV 3.0 + VSC 7.0 Y N/A • Recommended configuration for optimal features &
support
• SCV and VSC 6.2.1 will not be supported in the same vCenter
