ESXi 5.0U2 marked as Unknown

godellgo,

To troubleshoot the issue, can you run couple of commands from OS command prompt in OME server:

winrm i SendCmd cimv2/DCIM_OEM_DataAccessModule?__cimnamespace=root/dcim/sysman+InstanceID=DCIM_OEM_DataAccessModule1 @{CommandAndArguments="daname=csda omacmd=getaboutinfo"} -r:https://ESXiIPAddress:443/wsman -u:Username -p:Password -skipCNcheck -skipCAcheck -skipRevocationcheck -a:Basic -encoding:utf-8

winrm i SendCmd cimv2/DCIM_OEM_DataAccessModule?__cimnamespace=root/dcim/sysman+InstanceID=DCIM_OEM_DataAccessModule1 @{CommandAndArguments="omacmd=getchildlist showbody=true showobjhead=true recurse=true computeobjstatus=true byobjtype=17 poid=2 comp=MainChassis daname=dceda"} -r:https://ESXiIPAddress:443/wsman -u:Username -p:Password -skipCNcheck -skipCAcheck -skipRevocationcheck -a:Basic -encoding:utf-8

Make sure to provide actual values for these three fields in the above syntax:

ESXiIPAddress

Username

Password

The first command should return the following info (some values could be different):

SendCmd_OUTPUT

   ResultCode = 0

   ReturnValue =

Dell

OpenManage

Dell Inc.

Copyright (C) Dell Inc. 1995-2012 All rights reserved.

Server Administrator

7.1.0

omsa

true

0

The second command returns:

SendCmd_OUTPUT

   ResultCode = 0

   ReturnValue =

2

17

4

1

4 <

SMStatus s32val="0" strval="SUCCESS">0

Let us know if the above commands work for you. If not, reboot the ESXi server host once and try again.

Thanks,

The host has been restarted. Here is the output from the two commands:

In the OME console, make sure "Secure Mode" is enabled in WSMAN configuration page (under "Manage -> Discovery And Inventory"). Options: "Skip Common Name Check" and "Trusted Site" should also be selected for the ESXi discovery range.

Delete the device from Device tree (Manage -> Devices) and re-run discovery and inventory. This should fetch the device details and health status.

Thanks,

Turns out it was incorrect credentials on the WS-MAN page.

Thanks
