Your storage virtual machine (SVM) is in a MISCONFIGURED state - FSx for ONTAP
Your SVM has an offline volume which contains an iSCSI LUN, an NVMe/TCP namespace, or both

There are a number of potential causes for a Storage Virtual Machine to get into a MISCONFIGURED state, each with their own resolution, as follows.

Your SVM has an offline volume which contains an iSCSI LUN, an NVMe/TCP namespace, or both

Your file system contains a volume which is in an offline state. We recommend that you keep volumes online on an ongoing basis. If you do not online this volume before your file system’s next maintenance window, Amazon FSx will temporarily disable iSCSI and NVMe/TCP protocols on the Storage Virtual Machine for the duration of the patching operation. To avoid this, please online or delete the volume.
