- ONTAP System Manager 9.8P9 and earlier
- ONTAP System Manager 9.9.1P2 and earlier
- ONTAP 9.8P9 and earlier
- ONTAP 9.9.1P2 and earlier
Issue
- Unable to provision an aggregate from either Node 1 or Node 2 using ONTAP System Manager.
- Prepare Storage fails by error:
Job failed to complete. Reason: No recommended aggregates could be created. Failed to provision aggregate on nodes: <NODE>.
- Manual provisioning works via the ONTAP CLI.
