Issue
- The customer reported that the WebUI (System Manager) for the NetApp E-series storage system was inaccessible via both management IPs.
The error displayed was:
Data could not be loaded from the storage array. One possible cause is the object on which you were performing the operation no longer exists. Other possible causes include network issues, inability to communicate with the controller, or loss of power to the storage array.

- Attempts to restart web services and controllers do not restore access.
- And stagger reboot do not restore access
- The WEB-SERVER-TRACE.LOG in both controllers report many "The connection to the device has failed.", ClusterManager and ObjectBundle cannot become available due to timeout
