Applies to
SnapCenter Plug-in for VMware vSphere (SCV) 4.8 and higher
Issue
After upgrading the SCV to version 4.8, the following error messages started appearing in the audit-mlog of ONTAP:
<NODE>: http :: <SCV_SOURCE_ADDR>:<SCR_PORT> :: <SVM_NAME>:<SVM_LOGIN_ACCT> :: Login Attempt :: Error: Authentication failed.
Note:
- despite these errors, SCV backups and other functionality works fine
- The
SCV_SOURCE_ADDR
does match the IP address of the SCV SVM_LOGIN_ACCT
matches the user SVM login credential in the SCV Storage Connections.
