Hey Don, Are there any apps defined? Probably not, but worth checking.

The error in the top left also has me wondering what else it could be.

I'm not sure if there is and how/why it got there tbh. Looking at the asup - APPDM-APPLICATION.XML it lists (SANDBOX_FS01, Application Template NAS, smartContainer). I created the SVM and the data volume (SANDBOX_FS01) using 9.7 system manager. How do you recommend I proceed from here?

Yeah. the application commands have been deprecated for a few versions now I believe.

The network error is also suspicious, i would open a ticket at this point if no one else has an idea.
