Storage Replication Adapter: Slow REST API calls between cluster peers in ONTAP causes array discovery to fail in SRM
Applies to
- ONTAP Tools for VMware vSphere (OTV) 10.x
- NetApp Storage Replication Adapter (SRA) 10.x
- VMware Site Recovery Manager (SRM)
- VMware Live Site Recovery (vLSR)
Issue
When attempting to create an Array Pair using the Array Manager in SRM, SRM fails to discover the array resulting in the following:
SRA command 'discoverArrays' failed. Storage Virtual Machine (SVM) name not found in storage system. Please provide valid Storage Virtual Machine (SVM) name.
From OTV logs:

From SRM logs:
SRA command 'discoverArrays' failed. Peer array ID provided in the SRM input is incorrect. Check the SRM logs to verify the peer array ID.
