Issue

When restoring from a mirror (vault) destination, SnapCenter attempts to reverse the relationship, making the source the destination and vice-versa.
While checking the SVMs, initially both the vault side and the primary side seems fine, but before even continuing on checking the relationships, or setting anything up,
the SnapCenter Server's SMCore Service errors out and in the SMCoreService.log the following error occurs:
ErrorCode (-1), ErrorMessage (Object reference not set to an instance of an object.)
after the line:
vserver validation result : True
