Host requirements to install SnapCenter Plug-ins Package for Windows

Summary

Customer are asking why this is now indicated as a requirement in the documentation as it doesn't seems right ? "Java 11 Oracle Java and OpenJDK" It was not on any previous version and it is not in our lab, in the SnapX TSE team we are having a big doubt about this doc, that seems wrong and maybe use only for SCO or SCC ?

Thank you for your feedback. I am working with Engineering to make the necessary updates.

Spoke to Engineering. As per them, Java requirement is valid as there are plug-ins like SCC and HANA which are part of the Windows plug-in package. Thus, there is a requirement of java 11 to be installed on windows before installing / pushing those plug-ins.

In the doc, I can call out this way:

.NET Core beginning with version 8.0.5 and including all subsequent .NET 8 patches
PowerShell Core 7.4.2
Java 11 Oracle Java and OpenJDK (required for SAP HANA, IBM Db2, PostgreSQL, MySQL, NetApp supported plug-ins, and other custom applications which can be installed on Windows host)
