Hi Asanka, One quick thing to check – log in to your SSVM and run /use/local/cloud/systemvm/ssvm-check.sh – this will tell you if the SSVM can mount and write to secondary storage.

It is possible that your NFS server has a firewall configured? But from my experiments, the secondary storage VM not providing secondary storage usually is a networking problem, things not set up properly in your zone's networking so that the secondary storage VM can't reach the secondary storage. Are you using advanced networking, or basic networking?
