SRM / SRA Nimble Storage issue

Hi we had SRM replication fully running between our primary and secondary sites, we have done many test failovers and fail back with reprotection with no issues at all,

Monday we lost power at our main site, so the nimble storage just powered off, no graceful shutdown.

we got everything back up, but now when I try to initiate a test SRM replication with a test VM I get this error on SRM.

'Failed to promote replica devices. failed to promote replica consistency group 'NIM-SRM-TEST02'. Skipping failover operation for device group 'NIM-SRM-TEST02' As initiators were missing for one or more hosts.

I don't see any missing initiators on the 2 nimbles. 

i have deleted all the Replicated volumes, and rebuild the replication partner setup. including in SRM. but its still failing with this error.

I am a bit lost as to whats going on, we are using the latest version of SRM, and SRA storage adapter.

SRM versions are the same, but Vcenter is running 7 at one site and 8 at the other, as we are in the process of upgrading.

any suggestions appricated. !
