Paired array name mismatch using SRA 2 and SRM 5

Hello, I am using VMware SRM 5 and SRA 2.0 in conjunction with 3 FAS2040 filers running ONTAP 8.0.1-7. 2 filers in a primary dc, 1 in a dr dc. I am trying to pair the arrays but I keep getting the VMware error below each time I click on the Enable action.

The DR Site has 2 remote arrays entries while each of the primary filers have 1 entry each but I don't have the option to enable (it's grayed out) from the primary filers.

 

One of the primary arrays:

DR:

The problem is that the DR array wants to connect to a different name (FQDN) while the primary arrays are only recognized as HOSTNAME. Below is an excerpt from the SRM log file:

 

2011-12-28T14:55:36.627-05:00 [05624 verbose 'PropertyProvider' ctxID=7ea28e87 opID=34BFBF3D-00000193] RecordOp REMOVE: taskInProgress["dr.storage.ArrayManager.addArrayPair23"], storage-arraymanager-13192

2011-12-28T14:55:36.627-05:00 [05624 info 'DrTask' ctxID=7ea28e87 opID=34BFBF3D-00000193] Task 'dr.storage.ArrayManager.addArrayPair23' failed with error: (dr.storage.fault.ArrayNotFound) {

-->    dynamicType = <unset>,

-->    faultCause = (vmodl.MethodFault) null,

-->    id = "'HOSTNAME1A.FQDN.local",

-->    siteUuid = "aab9fd9f-ead3-45d6-9f42-a90ef02c5120",

-->    siteName = "Site Recovery for MIA",

-->    msg = "Array 'HOSTNAME1A.FQDN.local' not found at site 'Site Recovery for MIA'.",

 

I have tried to find the location the DR array is grabbing those names from but I have been unsuccessful so far. It's not domain DNS and it's not local host file DNS (from either vcenter or the filers)

 

Has anyone seen this error before?

The problem was/is with Operations Manager / OnCommand Core and how it creates the relationships for SnapMirror. If I create the SnapMirror manually through the Filer the problem goes away and each Filer sees the other as HOSTNAME:/VOL - I still have a ticket opened with NetApp for OnCommand but the pairing of the arrays in SRM is now working.
