Hi,
The developer replied back that this is likely a credentials issue. Check the user name and password.
Also, check the IP Address/Host Name for the controller and be sure you can correctly communicate.
Here is the email I was sent:
$msgObj->collect( \@message_a, ERROR, "[vmw-00142] ONTAP API connection to " . $sObjs[$l][$SOBJ_IPADDR] . " failed: " . $results->results_reason() );
The issue with vmw-00142 is generally that you can’t connect to the controller. The API call is system-get-ontapi-version. If this fails, the reason should be specified, but generally either the credentials are wrong, it’s the wrong IP address/hostname for the controller, or there’s a connectivity issue.
Hope this helps,
John
