194523 : ViPR SRM and Solutions Enabler: Getting error in the /var/symapi/log/storapid.log0  " [xxxx  Conn-xx] Oct-xx xx:xx:xx.xxx : eXppGetVersion() failed: PP_E_NOT_ENABLED"

Impact	This error shown below can be seen on VMAX Collectors.  It is an informational error but at first glance it seems to point to powerpath not being found by SE storapid daemon.  Also it appears that both hosts are actually VM's on esxi server and maybe referring to PPVE not installed.

However, SE normally has nothing to do with powerpath. No impact/failure is associated with this message.  So, essentially, the error is meaningless and can be ignored.

It is still under investigation to find out what specific SE command(s) are being run that cause this error to be logged even though it is benign.
