SnapCenter Server (SC)

Issue

  • SnapCenter tasks such clone lifecycle, remove secondary backups, and purge jobs that are scheduled in Windows Task Scheduler on the SnapCenter Server stop running without an error shown in the SnapCenter UI.
  • The jobs run successfully when triggered from the SnapCenter UI, SQL Agent (clone lifecycle), or copying the job syntax and running directly from PowerShell (logged in as domain user).
  • The joblauncher.log (C:\Program Files\NetApp\SnapCenter\SMCore\log) returns an error when the jobs are launched that the name of the cmdlet (i.e. "New-SmClone" for clone lifecycle jobs) is not recognized.
