DFM Zapi failed to connect to the DFM

Hi Guys,

I'm trying to get DFM integration with Snapdrive for Windows...when doing so, I'm entering the following command:

'sdcli dfm_config set -host <dfm_server> -user <domain\user_name>
Type Password for the user:**********
Creating ConfigManagement web service client...

Every time I attempt this, I get the following message:

A FaultException<SDResult> occurred:

DFM Zapi failed to connect to the DFM server '<dfm_server>'.

The operation completed successfully.

The user I'm attempting to use has GlobalFullControl on the DFM server and is also part of the local Administrators group on the filer and Windows server. I’m not seeing any reason why this would./should fail.

Has anyone else run into this issue and if so, has any resolution been discovered?

Thanks,

Scott
