Thanks for the tips.
As far as we can tell, everything in the netapp is ok. When nova-volume starts up, I can see in the logs where it gets the wsdl file fine. Also verified that nova-volume is only running on 1 host.

It might be interesting to note, that this site was without any prior volume service.
