CMC Shows "Failed, DSM" under Gateway Connection?

[Paul Hutchings]

OK so today for testing I setup a 2008 R2 VM and installed the DSM MPIO software, and then I created a volume and assigned it to the server and connected to the volume from within Windows.

All's well, however I noticed that when I shutdown the VM (cleanly), within the CMC I see a number of connections for the volume showing in red as "Failed, DSM".

I'm guessing the CMC thinks the connection has failed rather than it having been terminated.

I also thought the error would eventually clear/timeout, but so far it hasn't.

I restarted the VM and new connections were established and are working just fine but these "Failed/DSM" errors aren't going away.
