Dear all,   I'm currently facing an issue while adding Shared Disks to one of our Microsoft Failover Clusters in our testing environment.   A few hours earlier, I was able to add LUNs to another Microsoft Failover Cluster that was setup using the exact same procedure. All of a sudden, I now recieve the following error:     Error: No storage connection is set for StorageSystem : svm03-mgmt.example.com   The only change that was made in between both the succesfull and failed tries is the SnapCenter server's Fully Qualified Domain Name.     Troubleshooting Steps I've taken so far:   Verified the Storage Virtual Machine is correctly registered in DNS; both forward lookup (A Record) as well as reverse lookup (PTR Record).   > svm03-mgmt.example.com Server: dc01.example.com Address: 10.0.0.1 Name: svm03-mgmt.example.com Address: 10.0.0.130 > 10.0.0.130 Server: dc01.example.com Address: 10.0.0.1 Name: svm03-mgmt.example.com Address: 10.0.0.130   Verified the "Storage Systems" Page in SnapCenter contains the Storage Virtual Machine.   Verified the credentials on the "Storage Systems" Page in SnapCenter.   Reviewed the Job Log in SnapCenter.
