Connect-NcController : API invoke Failed - Error When Logging in With Powershell to SVM

ZBasile — Wed, 05 Mar 2025 21:20:28 GMT

We are getting these errors when we try to connect directly via powershell to the SVM. If we connect to the higher-level controller and SVM, it works. This used to work in former versions of ONTAP. Trying to avoid changing scripts unless I have to. Anybody know how to fix this?

Connect-NcController svmName -Credential vsadmin -vserver SVMName

Connect-NcController : API invoke failed:The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a send.

At line:1 char:1

Connect-NcController Device -Credential admin -vserver SVMName - this works

We are on NetApp Release 9.15.1P6. Powershell_9.16.1. What perms does you snapcenter account use? We are using vsadmin account with vsadmin roles.
