This issue is seen in new array setups.

Additional Information about the configuration where this issue was seen:

  • vCenter version: 6.7
  • SRM version: 8.1
  • SRA version: 9.2.0
  • Solutions Enabler (SE) version: 9.2.1 client installed on SRM
  • SYMAPI Server: Embedded Managed Array with SE 9.2.1

Cause

These errors appeared because no SRDF pair was established between the local and remote arrays. There was only one SRDF group configured with no device pairs. This is why the array discovery failed.

The local and remote arrays were responding to symrdf ping.

The 'symrdf list' command returned, "There are no RDF devices that are configured in this symmetrix."

Resolution

Create an SRDF pair between the local and remote array and establish the SRDF session. Retry the added pair from the SRM UI. The device discovery is then successful.
