Symptoms

When refresh storage (SAN Server), the job gets running for a long time, the Jobs tab could see many child jobs are failing.

Check detail of the failed jobs could see:

Description: OVMJOB_1251J Refresh Storage Layer for Server: ovcacnXXr1, Storage array: OVCA_ZFSSA_Rack1
Message: OVMAPI_6055E Discover target: ovcacnXXr1, Discover failed with error: null

The same "Discover failed with error: null" could be found in OVMM AdminServer.log as well.

A consequence of this issue could be, if reboot a compute node, the CN will be stuck at "Starting" status due to the AutoDiscoverTask job failing.

Description: AutoDiscoverTask: OVMJOB_1602J Discover server: ovcacnXXr1, refresh Type: ALL
Message: OVMAPI_6055E Discover target: ovcacnXXr1, Discover failed with error: null
