Issue
When attempting to perform SnapCenter backups with replication to a secondary Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP system via SnapMirror, the following error is encountered:
ErrorCode(-1), ErrorMessage(Unable to find SnapMirror destination(s). Error: No SnapMirror relationships were found. Resolution: Please make sure that secondary storage systems are registered and host can resolve them correctly.)
Relevant log excerpt from SMCore log:
API invoke failed: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond. [::ffff:10.10.10.10]:443 (10.10.10.10:443)
- Manual SnapMirror updates succeed.
- Both source and destination clusters and SVMs are visible in SnapCenter.
- DNS resolution and basic network connectivity tests (including port 443) are successful.
- The error persists even after disabling IPv6 on the SnapCenter server’s network adapter.
