VSC 6.2.1 P1: Incomplete Netapp Storage System detection

Hi,

we are currently investigating why our VSC 6.2.1P1 doesnt backup VMs anymore as soon as they were migrated once. Migration processes are complete but during backup cycle there are log-entries like: WARN - Virtual machine {vmname} is currently migrating and will not be backed up

 

(Filer FAS8020 with clustered Ontap 8.3.2P9 with NFS-exports for vsphere 6.5 hosts, vcenter 6.5 vcs-aplliance, no snapcenter, just smvi-backup)

 

Now our problem might be the result of an uncomlete detection / integration of our netapp-filer. We added the filer to VSC by using the FAS-cluster management IP interface using an administrative account.

- VSC Storage system summary shows all privileges are allowed.

- "Related objects" of that storage system lists no hosts, no SVMs and no NAS datastores.

- "Related objects" of that storage system lists all interfaces, except cluster management and interconection interfaces. The nfs-export interfaces with our vmware-volumes-SVMs are listet as "Data-LIF".

 

Adding the storage system or manually selecting "Update Host and Storage data"triggers task "Netapp Storage discovery" which completes in about 2-3 seconds. This task should recognize three of ten NetappSVMs and ten NFS/NAS-datastores and six VM hosts which are using these SVMs and datastores, but it doesnt.

 

Any ideas were to look or what could be the reason?
