NetApp VASA Provider + vCenter

If you like to locate all your vcenter add-ons in one location, you may notice this is problematic.  The NetApp VASA Provider 1.0 is no exception.  By default, the VASA provider listens on TCP/8443.  Bad move, NetApp.

Unlike everyone else who says just to install it somewhere else, I leveraged my extremely stubborn streak and discovered if you modify the port number in this file, and start the service - it works flawlessly:

%programfiles%\netapp\vasa\config\vasa.properties

I changed the following line to port 8444 (from 8443)

https.port=8444

If vCenter is already running and you installed the VASA provider - the VASA provider won't start until you make this change.  or reboot :)  And then you'll get this:

The VMware VirtualCenter Management Webservices service terminated unexpectedly.  It has done this 6 million time(s).

Enjoy!
