actually thats NOT the reason why the command is failing
MOST likely is that the IP you are using with -h is NOT the IP of a SP
do a "grep SP /etc/Hosts" to verify

when you say do a "grep SP /etc/hosts" I should run the following command naviseccli -h
-user -password -scope 0 storagegroup -list grep sp /etc/hosts? If not than can you please tell me the correct command with the grep in it? When I log into SPA A, I get the follwoing:

Grep will give you the correct IP of SPA and SPB
Use one of them with the –h option of naviseccli

Hello,
Here we go
1) naviseccli -RemoveUserSecurity2) naviseccli -AddUserSecurity -user sysadmin -password 'ENTER_YOUR_PASSWORD_HERE_INSIDE_THE_SINGLE_QUOTE' -scope 0
3) naviseccli -h SPA getagent
4) naviseccli -h SPA storagegroup -list

username/pwd should be the one use for the block part...

correct - nasadmin is not a valid username for the SP
typically that sysadmin is used there

naviseccli enables you to run block commands from remote hosts and the cs against arrays/sp's, not directly to the local Control Station ip's.
Run that same command from your workstation or if you want to run it from the Control station, ensure you target one of the SP ip addresses,
If you want to run commands from the Control Station, they must be the file based CLI or the naviseccli cmds against the sp ip addresses (not control station)
