ONTAP Select - Node Create Failed - Cannot create import spec params

arndt — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 14:04:59 GMT

Hi all,

I'm using ONTAP Select Deploy 2.6 to deploy a 9.1P9 evaluation instance, but I get the following error:

NodeCreateFailed: Node "sjc5-nasel-wit1-1" create failed. Reason: Cannot create import spec params.. Manual deletion of this node from its host may be required.

Does anyone here have any ideas on how to troubleshoot this? Thanks,

Mike

In case anyone else runs into this error message - the problem was with the privileges of the vCenter account we used to add the hypervisor host. Once we used a proper account, everything worked.
