I am running RHEL 7.2 and have installed Unified Host Utilities 7.1 and SDU 5.3.1, as well as sg3_utils and sg3_utils_libs. We are using iSCSI to present a LUN from an 8.1.4 7-mode filer. The LUN is presented and multipath has been configured.

So far so good. SnapDrive has been configured as follows:
[root@rheltest ~]# grep "^[^#;]" /opt/NetApp/snapdrive/snapdrive.conf
default-transport="iscsi" #Transport type to use for storage provisioning, when a decision is needed
fstype="ext3" #File system to use when more than one file system is available
multipathing-type="NativeMPIO" #Multipathing software to use when more than one multipathing solution is available. Possible values are 'NativeMPIO' or 'DMP' or 'none'
rbac-method="native" #Role Based Access Control(RBAC) methods
use-https-to-filer="on" #Communication with filer done via HTTPS instead of HTTP
vmtype="lvm" #Volume manager to use when more than one volume manager is available
[root@rheltest ~]# snapdrive config list

root bradtest-01 StorageSystem
[root@rheltest ~]# snapdrive storage show -all
WARNING: This operation can take several minutes
based on the configuration.
0001-185 Command error: storage show failed: no NETAPP devices to show or add the host to the trusted hosts (options trusted.hosts) and enable SSL on the storage system or retry after changing snapdrive.conf to use http for storage system communication and restarting snapdrive daemon.
I get the following on the filer log when I run "snapdrive storage show -all" from the host:
Fri Dec 2 10:44:25 MST [bradtest-01:app.log.info:info]: rheltest.local: snapdrive 5.3.1 for UNIX: (3) general: Connected Luns=0, DGs=0, HVs=0, FS=0, OS_Name=Linux, Platform=Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 7.2 (Maipo), Kernel_Version=RHCK 3.10.0-327.el7.x86_64, Protocol=iscsi, File_System=ext3, Multipath_Type=none, Host_VolumeManager=lvm, Host_Cluster=no, Host_Virtualization=yes, Virtualization_Flavor=VMware, RBAC_Method=native, Protection_Usage=none
When starting SDU, I get the all too common storage stack error.
[root@rheltest ~]# service snapdrived restart

And get the following when running sdconfcheck:
[root@rheltest ~]# sdconfcheck import -file /tmp/confcheck_data.tar.gz

[root@rheltest ~]# sdconfcheck check

Any thoughts? I've been beating my head against the wall on this for hours. Everything aligns with the IMT, and this is a brand new RHEL minimal install so it seems this SDU install should be textbook.
