Hi Jamie,
Thanks for your advice.
I could resolve this problem with following action.
1. add naming resolution
2. add setting for remote access (snapmirror.allow)
I demonstrated this SRM 5.1 Demo Env. with ONTAP Edges at VMware booth in NetApp Innovation 2012 Tokyo, 6th Dec.
These ONTAP Edges runs on a physical ONTAP, thus this is "Nested ONTAP". furthermore this env. runs with nested ESXi and nested ONTAP.
# Nested ONTAP is not compatible configuration for ONTAP Edge.
I had built this env. for few days even though I had no experience for ONTAP.
I'm impressed ease of use with ONTAP and I think netapp dedup should be highly evaluated widely.
Caution: unfortunately ONTAP Edge is not certified storage as nfs/iscsi datastores by VMware.
check VMware compatibility guide http://www.vmware.com/resources/compatibility/search.php
** 1.
- login the console of a ONTAP Edge
- enter "setup"
- after some questions, you can find a question whether you enable DNS service or not. Enable it.
- finish all of "setup" questions.
- reboot
- check that DNS service is enabled on OnCommand.
take same procedure with another ONTAP Edge.

probably you can add combinations of hosts and ip addresses at "Network Files".
** 2.
- login to OnCommand
- Open ONTAP Edge
- navigate "system name" > "SnapMirror" > "Remote Access" > "Add"
Remote System: the name of another ONTAP Edge
Volume or Qtree: All_volumes
