Can't install VASA Provider (VVols) integration from Nimble web GUI

[mrmicp]

Hi,

So we have just got a Nimble installed and I'm trying to add vmware VASA Provider (VVols) integration from the array's gui but I keep getting the error "vasa - SmsTask failed, state=error, key=SmsTask-30" A quick google takes me to this article and says that the certificate that the storage monitoring server uses has expired and I need to generate a new one.

The issue is that the article assumes you are running vCenter on Windows but we don't, we have the Server Appliance and I don't have experience of the CLI. So looking for a little help please, does anybody have any experience with this? Or can point me in the right direction? Much appreciated

I did setup VASA provider with vCenter applicance for many times hence confirm it is workable...

Have you reach out to Nimble Support?

smsTask can fail due to a number of different reasons.  You can work with Nimble Support.  A few basic things to confirm:

• your ESX servers have NTP configured, your VCSA has NTP configured via the VAMI (port 5480) interface

Hi,

I've checked the NTP settings and they are correct so I've submitted a case to Nimble Supprot via Infosight..

Thanks
