E5500 iSCSI arrays. Firmware up to date, every software is in matrix and so on.
After successfully installed and fine configured the array manager pairs (see the issue about ports to solve before here) there's no change to configure the protection group because none of the two array manager can see and enumerate the paired devices (I do not report here screenshot of SANTricity-trust on me, everything is good and working and AMG work fine).
All the VMware kb about this invite to check connectivity issues and running perfstat on both SRM servers reports that each needed port and comm is ok.
As you can see the pair of arrays and their manager is ok and enabled but there are no parired devices listed below and also rescanning give no results and the same error.
Here is an abstract from log. I read that the process starts, enumerates some LUN and can declare them not associated to AMG (right), discover some AMG group (the name is correct) but then it hangs and stops wiht that error "null pointer exception".
This happens on both site!
I've a case opened...investigating. But I suspect is a SRA sw issue to fix.
