Hi -
Just a quick update in case anyone else runs into this. After reviewing the log on the vcenter appliance the vcenter user used by snapcenter plugin for vmware (SCV) did not have access to the root folder in vcenter. (Folder:group-d1) SCV plugin requires "admin" user to communicate to vcenter.
The other caveat is that we use multiple SSO identiies. The initial user I had used had what appeared admin access. However, the other authentication idenitiy source was not functioning. I had to pull the identity source out and put it back in for it to work on the vcenter side. Perhaps a vmware bug/issue. None the less I wanted to share this to help other if they run into this issue.
Pertinent info highlighted in red.
