Hello All,
I'm new so please bear with me....
Our infrastructure contains 3 main hosts, we use a Netapp SAN to connect our NFS datastores to, for some reason even when I manually try connecting the datastore to hosts i'm unable to do it on 2 of the 3.
All 3 hosts are on the same network segment, they have a vmkernel interface that connects to the VLAN of our SAN (so all traffic flows correctly, and there is another VMK interface dedicated for management as well) I can connect a datastore from 1 host to all 3 of our SAN controllers, but for some reason the 1 SAN controller thats at our DR site I can't connect to (again on 2 of the 3 hosts)
I went through the VMKERNEL.LOG and noticed this showing up

In this example you will see that it shows a status of Success but then I get all these Error 13's.
I verified all the permissions were set correctly on the /vol and made sure from both the SAN controller and the host that both can communicate with each other. I did a health check through the netapp snapin for vcenter and all show healthy. It pings the SAN and checks connectivity to all datastores, which we have other datastores pointing to this SAN controller as well as the effected host. So it makes no sense why I can't add a new datastore to this host.
I'm a newb so be kind... please haha
Thanks for your help!
