Hi,

api-snapmirrorget-status*,api-nfsstatus* - these capabilities names are not correct { - is not used correctly}. Please find details below and also refer the document.

api-snapmirrorget-status* ===> api-snapmirror-get-status*

api-nfsstatus* =====> api-nfs-status*

This should resolve the issue.

Thanks it worked - the error happened due to copy and paste from the pdf file.

Hi Sutanu,

Yes, this plug-in requires a custom user which only storage admin can create. This is one time activity and you need to put request to him. Please share the command to storage admin that we have documented in IAG guide of Plug-in.

This custom user creation will only give monitoring / read access to the storage controller.
