Issue
When running a device discovery operation in Site Recovery Manager (SRM) the following errors may be seen:
'XmlValidateException' error:
Reviewing the discoverDevices response in the SRM logs shows that no SourceDevice is returned and that an XML parsing error is thrown immediately after the XML output is received:

'Unable to find a matching device' error:
Reviewing the discoverDevices response in the SRM logs shows that a peer device could not be found for the device called out in the "Unable to find a matching device" error. This is despite the fact that the array device is in a healthy snapmirror relationship:
