  • Jon, nothing happened that I'm aware of. We're running version 3.0.5. I've opened a ticket, so we'll see what support says.

  • Based on my understanding, get ready for more frustration. It looks like everything that is not currently getting fed to Orion is going to be removed from the product, so that's a vast amount of information and visibility that will no longer be available, just as has happened with Storage Manager.

  • I'm alarmed by the omission of the granular environment searching the current VMAN supports and which has been supported since VMAN was Hyper9. In particular, it is very useful to me to be able to search for VMs or hosts matching arbitrary conditions. There's a trend with the "integration" of formerly third-party products…

  • The method I found was to name each datastore something like 'hostname'-local and then use the query "-datastore.name:local".

  • Agreed. We're trying to get to a point where we can do away with the old Profiler-based SRM, but so much more information is exposed via that product that it's just not possible right now. Unfortunately, when we migrated to NetApp CDOT, we lost a ton of visibility into our environment because CDOT is only supported on the…
    in SRM doesn't feel well integrated into Orion Comment by tomaddox March 2017
  • I thought that deleting the Administrator dashboard and recreating had done the issue, but then I logged out and back in, and the issue is back. Multiple instances of certain widgets are created, and widgets which I had deleted come back, sometimes more than once. While not a show-stopper, this issue is definitely…

  • Allow me to reiterate this problem. Solarwinds changed the Hyper9 licensing model shortly after we renewed. We figured that we would be grandfathered in, at least until the next contract renewal came up. We were wrong. I upgraded to Virtualization Manager to correct a couple of bugs in Hyper9 3.0.5, but SWVM 4.0 is so…

  • I don't know if it counts as the dumbest, but it's certainly the most annoying: "Are you sure?"

  • I guess I was not 100% correct--the phantom snapshot files alert contains a subset of the files that I'm looking for, but it doesn't completely identify all orphaned files, so I'll need to see whether the orphaned files report can be resurrected to get the whole picture.

  • We "resolved" this issue by "upgrading" to Solarwinds Virtualization Manager 4.0. Obviously, it's less of a resolution than a workaround, and it's not clear whether this counts as an upgrade, since performance data collection now takes 10 times as long and crashes frequently (twice in the past week). I have tickets open…

  • I was asked for some additional information, which I provided, then heard nothing for a few days. Today I received the response from support that my case was going to be closed since I hadn't updated it. Delightful.

  • We have NetApp AFF running CDOT and would love some improved support (as in, equivalent to what Storage Manager used to offer for 7-Mode), so I'm happy to offer feedback.
