You have to connect to the SVM, not the cluster.

The thing is, where I need to select sorage type is sort of grayed out, I can't make a selection and ONTAP SVM sort comes in as default as is locked there

Hi Zagwa,

With SnapCenter you can register/add ONLY SVMs.

What you see is expected behavior, as designed. Support for registering/adding cluster is coming in the upcoming release.
