Failed to enumerate LUN

Recently, a customer of ours reported the following error:

Failed to enumerate LUN 
Device path : xxxx
Storage path: xxxx 
SCSI address: 
Error code 0xc00402fa
Error description: A LUN with device path \\xxxx and SCSI address (a,b,c,d) is exposed through an unsupported initiator.


The also reported that they could not enumerate the disks in snapdrive. 

As it turns out, they had not enabled the Vcenter integration settings. 

So, if you are facing this issue as well, then verify the 'VirtualCenter or ESX Server Login Settings' within SnapDrive are accurate and enabled.
