MongoDB ReplicaSet error SnapCenter Plugin

Hi,

We are attempting to use the SnapCenter MongoDB plugin to protect our MongoDB replica set VM instances running (VMware).

The replica set is made of the primary and 2 replicas. Each instance is provisioned its own VMware Datastore from an NetApp Ontap cluster, as follow:

1 Volume > 1 Lun > 1 Datastore > 1 mongod instance data

We followed the documentation provided with the Plugin, unfortunately few areas are not clear and we are running into some issues configuring our backups.

The SnapCenter configuration is as follow:

Installed the Plugin on all 3 nodes of the Replica set
Created 3 separate ReplicaSet Resources, one for each instance instance
Created a Resource Group with all 3 ReplicaSets

We are getting the following error when running a backup, showing in the application Quiesce step:

SCC-00164: Application quiesce for plug-in [MongoDB] failed with exit code [1] and with error : File "/opt/NetApp/snapcenter/scc/plugins/native/MongoDB.py", line 35 except Exception, e: ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax SCC-00161: Application unquiesce for plug-in [MongoDB] failed with exit code [1] and error : File "/opt/NetApp/snapcenter/scc/plugins/native/MongoDB.py", line 35 except Exception, e: ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax SCC-00185: Cleanup for plug-in [MongoDB] failed with exit code [102] and error:

Do you have any pointers as to what to look for?
