Hi there,   I hope someone can help me on this. I'm trying to provision a ESX datastore from ViPR but has encountered some issues related to the SMIS provider error. The creation of the volume looks okay but when it comes to creating the Export Group, it gets this error as shown below:  Error 12023: Export create operation failed. Encountered an error in export create: Encountered an SMIS error when attempting to query existing exports: Error when attempting to query LUN masking information: A general error occurred that is not covered by a more specific error code. (com.emc.cmp.osls.se.osl.Masking.StorMaskGroupShow():138 C:ERROR_CLASS_SOFTWARE F:ERROR_FAMILY_FAILED R:1200019 C:ERROR_CLASS_SOFTWARE F:ERROR_FAMILY_FAILED R:1200019 The internal database is in an inconsistent state, and must be fully synchronized before performing this operation.)  I've logged into my SMIS provider and checked with TestSMISProvider.exe but there are no abnormalities seen. I am currently managing VNX5500 with ViPR.  Does anyone has any idea how can i proceed from here?   Many thanks, Michael
