SCV VM restore fails with vault snapshot "Unable to mount datastore, failed to create lun clone"

[kalki1]

We have SCV 4.x with latest ONTAP version (9.12 onwards) which works fine. It has vault backups. when we tried to restore a VM using vault backup it fails with error, "Unable to mount datastore failed to create lun clone:no input ESX initiator lds".

In the secondary cluster, fcp service is up and has its wwpns zoned correctly with ESXi hosts at source. Also, the secondary SVM is added in storage systems section of SVC plugin.

Is there anything we are missing here?

Thank you!

Hi,

Have you checked that you have a valid snaprestore license installed on the cluster?

system license show-status -status valid -license snaprestore

thanks, Matt
License was added by netapp personal and it was there.
It appears to be an issue with networker storage node
