VNX and SRM snapshot error
We have 2 VNX 5300s and are using MirrorView/S to replicate between them. We have ESXi hosts connected to each VNX and consistency groups that allow us to promote the VMFS datastore LUNs to the secondary VNX. We are configuring SRM and it looks correct however when we try to run a test of the Protection Plan it fails with an error of "Failed to create lun snapshots". SRM is using an account that is an Administrator on the VNXes. I have setup snapshots of the LUNs in Unisphere and am able to create the snapshots without any issue.
Any ideas what I am missing that is preventing SRM from being able to create the snapshots?
There's a similar discussion on the CLARiiON Forum that might be useful:

Hi,
It sounds like, i have an identical issue, do you have the same error in the SRA Logs :
