Hello All,
Any input would be appreciated
I'm in the process of running quarterly updates on my VMWare Hosts and have run into a problem that looks to be specific to G7 hardware. I ran my VUM updates that consisted of the September Recipe JUN15 Bundles and VMWare Updates to 10\6\15 that included the 5.5 u3a Hotfix. I then tried to mount a remote SUM scan of the host and received an error of Inventory Failed " VMWare node Inventory Failed while reading FCHBA information ' "Please check your network connectivity and HP WBEM Provider status in the VMWare Node"
At first I thought this was a one-off, but I just hit another model of G7 with the same symtomology
Hardware Status Pane is un-effected
This Problem reoccurred after the fresh rebuild of the host with the Sep 15 Custom HP VMWare ISO
Again this process went Flawlessly on G8's
So far I did the following
- Tested CIM\WBEM Providers
- Checked Host Firewall
- Verified SMX\WBEM Versions
- Reflashed Hardware
- Reset Bios
- Disconnected HBAs
- Tried Different HBA Driver (OEM vs VMWare)
- Flashed HBAs (QL)
- Rebuilt the box
- Tried OCT 2015 SPP same issue
Here's the Build and version numbers
