Unified VSC Appliance: Maintenance Shell/Console Menus, Registration & More...

In this blog post we display the NetApp Unified VSC Appliance (or VMware Tools for ONTAP - Virtual Storage Console, VASA Provider, and SRA) Maintenance Shell/Console Menus and vSphere Plugin Registration web page.

Note: I’m using Version 7.2.1P1 here as that’s what I had in the lab - I doubt these views have changed much in more recent versions.
