Issue

When trying to create an NFSv3 datastore via the NetApp ONTAP tools for VMware vSphere (OTV) plugin, the following error is presented at the 30% completion mark:

Generic Datastore Error: failed with: Failed to validate lifs per node. Ensure that each node has at least one lif per node

When reviewing the OTV logs, the following is seen:
