System Manager fails to create export when using the "Create NFS datastore for VMware" wizard

Hi,

I'm trying to get System Manager to provision NFS datastores fro vmware using the "Create NFS datastore for VMware" wizard but it fails with the following error message:  Failed to provision storage for vmware.  The wizard created the volume but not the export.  Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Hi Daniel,

I haven’t seen this issue in our setup till now. Can you give us more details about the Number of volumes, Data ONTAP version, Volume name & etc?

Thanks;

Daniel

Hi Daniel,

Here's the information:

Ontap version:  7.3.2

FAS3140 clustered

Volume name could be anything, i tired creating a volume called test, ds_nfs1, ds_nfs2, etc and it still fails with the exact same error message.  I've uploaded some screenshots of the whole wizard process.

I can confirm this exact behavior at a handful of our client's environments.

System Manager 1.1

All FAS3140

Mix of OnTAP

7.3.2

7.3.3

8.0P1
