Issue

Orphaned SVMs persist in SnapCenter cache , even after deleting Ontap / FSX Cluster from Storage Systems in SnapCenter 
In the SnapCenter Storage Settings , When the Cluster is added, all the SVMS under the Cluster are discovered. 
These SVMS are not managed independently. 

  • When the Cluster is deleted from the Storage Settings, SVMS no longer appear in the SnapCenter UI

When the backup/Clone job is run, we would see the following from the logs
