The Disaster Recovery Wizard may display a failed to discover NIC error on the Secondary system selection page
The Disaster Recovery Wizard may display a failed to discover NIC error on the secondary system selection page. This can occur if it encounters a problem with the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) service on one of the cluster nodes. (893918)
Workaround: Exit the wizard and check if the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) service is running on the node identified in the error message. If not, start the service and restart the wizard.
If the error repeats, you can troubleshoot further by checking if there is a problem with the WMI repository on the node. To check for problems, use the WMI test program
wbemtest.exe to enumerate instances of Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration and Win32_NetworkAdapter. If they do not enumerate successfully, fix the problem with the WMI repository before restarting the wizard.
