Checks Performed: 
===================

- Error was related to the Zoning : No valid WWPN found in the input.

- Next step to check the Zoning

- Found multiple errors on the Storage monitor.

Action Plan :

===========

- Would be to take a manual snapshot of the consistency group.

**After checking that the manual snapshot of the consistency group did not work and involved storage vendor for further assistance.
