is this a brand new array ? The only time you should get this when it's a brand new array that just got deployed.

Nope. Its not a brand new one. One of my collegue said, that a file needs to be created for the database and then it needs to be initialized. I am not sure how to have it done.

something is not right, when you initialize VCMDB database ..you essentially wipe it clean, all masking information goes away. Get in touch with support via chat or open an SR ..before something catastrophic happens.
