I have a 1 node cluster

Outer AHV - 10.1.10.103

Outer CVM/Prism - 10.1.10.82

Data Service ip - 10.1.10.95

Network-0 having vlan id 1490 - gateway - 10.1.149.1, useable ips 10.1.149.2 to 10.1.149.61

Prism - https://10.1.10.82:9440/

-------------------------------------------------------------------

created a 3 node nested cluster

AHV VM1 - 10.1.149.51

AHV VM2 - 10.1.149.53

AHV VM3 - 10.1.149.55

Data Service ip - 10.1.149.11

 

Inner Prism - https://10.1.149.52:9440/

nested CVM1 - 10.1.149.52

nested CVM1 - 10.1.149.54

nested CVM1 - 10.1.149.56

vlan1 having vlan id 1490 - gateway - 10.1.149.1, useable ips 10.1.149.2 to 10.1.149.61
-------------------------------------------------------------------
I am trying to create a Distributed FSVM on the nested cluster, 

Creating Distributed FSVM on inner cluster on vlan 1490

  Client Network - 10.1.149.12,10.1.149.13,10.1.149.14

  Storage Network - 10.1.149.15,10.1.149.16,10.1.149.17,10.1.149.118

FSVM creation is failing in cluster initialisation with error as CVM not able to reach FSVM ip.

FSVM is not able to ping its gateway IP.


Can someone help me with Network configurations? What am I doing wrong here?
Also is there a way I can retain the fsvm even when File Server task fails so that I can debug?
