Hello @knieberg

The error seems to be pointing out termination by an external fpolicy server. I would suggest opening a support case for this issue.

It is most likely that firewall is blocking these ports in the agent machine.

Could you please check if the port range 35001-35100/tcp is opened for the agent machine to connect from the SVM?

Also make sure that there are no firewalls enabled in the ONTAP side blocking any communication to the agent machine.

Please look into the documentation under "Network Configuration" on how to disable firewall in the agent machine.

Thanks @abhit.

Communication with SVM target is not stable / not working. ensure firewall rule set is set accordingly:

firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-port=35000-55000/tcp
firewall-cmd --reload

You can check on the ONTAP system ports used:

it was perfect!

2 more reasons why the connection between SVM and DSC may fail, though ping from SVM Lif to Agent box, Agent box to SVM Lif is working fine.

While adding the DSC via SVM IP and vsadmin credentials, please check if the SVM Lif has is Data+Mgmt role enabled. If yes, please create a SVM Mgmt Only Lif and try connecting via this SVM management only Lif.

Also these kind of errors are seen, when same SVMs are added twice via 2 different DSCs by mistake. It will good to recheck if by mistake, the same SVM has been added by 2 different DSCs.

Also, if the DSC to SVM connection is over WAN the connection will not work.

Both should be in close proximity to each other.
