Upgrade the Element Plug-in for vCenter Server
For existing vSphere environments with a registered NetApp Element Plug-in for vCenter
Server (VCP), you can update your plug-in registration after you first update the
management services package that contains the plug-in service.
You can update the plug-in registration on vCenter Server Virtual Appliance (vCSA) or Windows using the
registration utility. You must change your registration for the vCenter Plug-in on every vCenter Server where
you need to use the plug-in.
This upgrade procedure covers the following upgrade scenarios:
• You are upgrading to VCP 4.6, 4.5, or 4.4.
• You are upgrading to a 7.0, 6.7, or 6.5 HTML5 vSphere Web Client.
• You are upgrading to a 6.7 or 6.5 Flash vSphere Web Client.
The plug-in is compatible with vSphere Web Client version 6.7 U2 for Flash, 6.7 U3 (Flash
and HTML5), and 7.0 U1. The plug-in is not compatible with version 6.7 U2 of the HTML5
vSphere Web Client. For more information about supported vSphere versions, see the
release notes for your version of the plug-in.
What you’ll need
• Admin privileges: You have vCenter Administrator role privileges to install a plug-in.
• vSphere upgrades: You have performed any required vCenter upgrades before upgrading the NetApp
Element Plug-in for vCenter Server. This procedure assumes that vCenter upgrades have already been
completed.
• vCenter Server: Your vCenter Plug-in version 4.x is registered with a vCenter Server. From the registration
utility (https://[management node IP]:9443), click Registration Status, complete the necessary
fields, and click Check Status to verify that the vCenter Plug-in is already registered and the version
number of the current installation.
• Management services updates: You have updated your management services bundle to the latest
version. Updates to the vCenter plug-in are distributed using management services updates that are
released outside of major product releases for NetApp HCI and SolidFire all-flash storage.
• Management node upgrades: You are running a management node that has been upgraded to version
11.3 or later. vCenter Plug-in 4.4 or later requires a an 11.3 or later management node with a modular
architecture that provides individual services. Your management node must be powered on with its IP
address or DHCP address configured.
• Element storage upgrades: You have a cluster running NetApp Element software 11.3 or later.
