Hi all, I'm having trouble connecting to 1 CDOT cluster but can connect to others from same server with matching hardware and OnTap versions. Below is what I've checked already. I CAN reach onbox system manager OK as well as SSH to the cluster mgmt LIF, but powershell connections and thus WFA connections fail. Details:
Error:

Things I've tried:
- Connect to another cluster also running ontap 9.1from same powershell server -> connect OK
- Connect to affected cluster using systemscope credentials -> same error as above on affected cluster but OK on other 9.1 clusters
- Compared configuration of the following match for both affected cluster and working cluster (both clusters run ontap 9.1:
- vserver services web show
- web access show
- security ssh show
- security ssl show
- firewall policy show
- security certificate show
- There are NO firewalls between the powershell server and affected cluster
- I've tried powershell connections from other Windows servers running different Windows OS, powershell and DataONTAP plugin versions -> same error
Other information:
-DataONTAP plugin version 4.1.0
-Powershell version 4.0
-.NET v 3.5 and 4.5 feature are installed
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!
