When using out-of-band √ √ √ management with SMcli by specifying the RAID Controller management port IP addresses on the MD Storage Array, SMcli commands that change the attributes of a virtual disk, virtual disk copy, or snapshot virtual disk, must have management access to the owning RAID Controller Module to complete. Where applicable it is a best practice to specify both management port IP addresses on the SMcli invocation: "SMcli 192.168.128.101 192.168.128.102 -c".
