Troubleshooting SDU 5.3.1 and ONTAP 9.3 error 0001-242


Two slightly different errors depending on whether SDU is configured to use https or http.

0001-242 Admin error: Unable to connect using https to storage system: 192.168.1.16...
0001-242 Admin error: Unable to connect using http to storage system: 192.168.1.16...

... Ensure that 192.168.1.16 is a valid storage system name/address, if the storage system that you configure is running on a Data ONTAP operating in 7-mode, add the host to the trusted hosts (options trusted.hosts) and enable SSL on the storage system 192.168.1.16 or modify the snapdrive.conf to use http for communication and restart the snapdrive daemon. If the storage system that you configure is running on a clustered Data ONTAP, ensure that the Vserver name is mapped to IP address of the Vserver's management LIF.

I don’t do much with SDU, so an opportunity for me to learn something new. We kept hitting the 0001-242 error with SDU trying to connect to an ONTAP 9.3 SVM. Everything seemed fine with the configuration but a few things it could be:

1) ONTAP 9.3 needs SDU 5.3.1P1 or above. See note below from the IMT:
8783: SDU version 5.3.1P1 or above need to be installed to use ONTAP 9.2, ONTAP 9.3, ONTAP 9.4 and ONTAP 9.5, ONTAP 9.6

2) Using the wrong SVM management IP.
If you use the wrong SVM IP (i.e. an IP that doesn’t even exist), you still get the 0001-242 error.

3) Firewall policy on the SVM management LIF needs to allow HTTP/HTTPS.
The standard firewall policy mgmt will work.

4) SDU is not connecting to the IP you think it should be connecting to on the SVM.
You can set the mgmt and data LIFs to use the mgmt firewall policy, then even if SDU is connecting to the wrong LIF, it should still work.

5) SDU is not using the port on the Linux server that you think it should be using.
The is an option ‘blacklist-interfaces’ in the SDU snapdrive.conf file that allows you to control this. See:
Also SDU 5.2.2 installation and admin guide: https://library.netapp.com/ecmdocs/ECMP1552621/html

Testing Examples
                                                                                                        
EXAMPLE: Successful telnet test
A telnet test to port 80 (port 443 for HTTPS) of the mgmt. IP/SVM DNS name, should be successful. Of course, it depends on telnet running from the interface on the Linux box that you want to talk to the ONTAP SVM, and this may not be the case.

[root@rhel1 ~]# telnet 192.168.1.16 80
Trying 192.168.1.16...
Connected to 192.168.1.16.


EXAMPLE: snapdrive config list

[root@rhel1 ~]# snapdrive config list
username   appliance name   appliance type
------------------------------------------
vsadmin    192.168.1.16     StorageSystem


EXAMPLE: 0008-500 Admin error

[root@rhel1 ~]# snapdrive config delete 192.168.1.16
0008-500 Admin error: Datapath has been configured for the storage system 192.168.1.16.
Please delete it using snapdrive config delete -mgmtpath command and retry.


EXAMPLE: snapdrive config list -mgmtpath

[root@rhel1 ~]# snapdrive config list -mgmtpath
system name   management interface   datapath interface
-------------------------------------------------------
db            192.168.1.16           192.168.1.10|192.168.1.12

Note: db is the name of the SVM.

EXAMPLE: snapdrive config delete -mgmtpath

[root@rhel1 ~]# snapdrive config delete -mgmtpath db
Deleted configuration for appliance: db


EXAMPLE: snapdrive config delete

[root@rhel1 ~]# snapdrive config delete 192.168.1.16
Deleted configuration for appliance: 192.168.1.16

After ‘config delete -mgmtpath’ and config delete, we try again but this time with the wrong firewall policy on the mgmt LIF (data firewall policy), and it fails as expected.

EXAMPLE: snapdrive config set (0001-242 error https)

[root@rhel1 ~]# snapdrive config set vsadmin 192.168.1.16

EXAMPLE: snapdrive config show (See Appendix 2)

[root@rhel1 ~]# snapdrive config show


After editing the /opt/NetApp/snapdrive/snapdrive.conf file (with vi), you need to restart the snapdrive daemon.

EXAMPLE: snapdrived restart

[root@rhel1 ~]# snapdrived restart
Successfully stopped daemon
WARNING!!! Unable to find a SAN storage stack. Please verify that the appropriate transport protocol, volume manager, file system and multipathing type are installed and configured in the system. If NFS is being used, this warning message can be ignored.
Successfully started daemon


Still with the management LIF firewall policy set incorrectly (data) but having edited the snapdrive.conf file to use http, we try snapdrive config set again.

EXAMPLE: snapdrive config set (0001-242 error http)

[root@rhel1 ~]# snapdrive config set vsadmin 192.168.1.16
Password for vsadmin:
Retype password:
0001-242 Admin error: Unable to connect using http to storage system: 192.168.1.16.


EXAMPLE: Viewing the sd-audit log

[root@rhel1 ~]# cat /var/log/sd-audit.log


EXAMPLE: Viewing the sd-client-trace.log

[root@rhel1 ~]# cat /var/log/sd-client-trace.log


EXAMPLE: Viewing interfaces (with a view to blacklisting the ones we don’t want to be used for SDU mgmt connect)

[root@rhel1 ~]# ifconfig


EXAMPLE: snapdrive config set to just a random IP, and it gives the same error!

[root@rhel1 ~]# snapdrive config set vsadmin 192.168.1.77
Password for vsadmin:
Retype password:
0001-242 Admin error: Unable to connect using http to storage system: 192.168.1.77.


EXAMPLE: snapdrive version
The version in my lab is 5.2.2.

[root@rhel1 ~]# snapdrive version
snapdrive Version 5.2.2
Snapdrive Daemon Version 5.2.2
