VCENTER Patch with Nimble Storage Plugin Warning

popeyesails — Wed, 11 Mar 2026 05:29:17 GMT

Hello,

Looking to patch our vcenter and I received a warning stating the nimble stroage plugin could not be validated and may not function after the vcenter patch. I am running vcenter 8.03 and my current nimble plugin is working no issues. Is there a way to see if there is a newer version of the plugin or is it a transient warning and safe to ignore?

Warning

The compatibility of plug-in package(s) "com.nimblestorage.hi.h5-6.1.21064273.0" with the new vCenter Server version cannot be validated. They may not function properly after vCenter Server upgrade.

Resolution

Please contact the plug-in vendor and make sure the package is compatible with the new vCenter Server version.

Hi @popeyesails

The array OS supports VMware 8.0.2; however, VMware hasn't updated their compatibility checks yet. We have customers who update without issues. To get around the issue with the plug-in, remove the Nimble plugin, update the vCenter, and then reinstall the plugin.

Thank you, if I remove the plugin will it disconnect the vmfs datastore or will just prevent me from using the nimble options within vcenter?

Removal of plugin will not disconnect the datastores, It just prevent using the features from vcenter.
