OM Integration for vCenter inventory task fails for one host

Question

Hello. I updated my OM Integration plugin to 2.0 from 1.7. I have three ESXi 5.5 hosts and vCenter 5.5 appliance. The inventory scan on one of these three hosts fails. I didn't do any changes on the hosts and the inventory used to work for all hosts when I was using the plugin version 1.7. During connection profile testing i don't get any errors and both iDRAC Credentials and Host Credentials pass with green checkmarks on all hosts, including the one which gets the inventory scan failure. When looking at the logs I see bunch of Security -messages and then 'Failed to get iDRAC IP for host{0}' and 'Inventory failed for 1 hosts out of 3' Any suggestions?

Since we didn't support 5.5 with 1.7 the installs must have been new for the hosts and vCenter. Sometimes OMSA can get messed up during upgrades. Please verify that host is compliant in the compliance wizard in the full desktop client. In addition, can you verify you are one build 61? If you are on build 59 try moving to the current 2.0 build.Modify update path to linux.dell.com/.../latest

Run the update
This update will get you to build 2.0.0.1262
After the update move lack to original path to ensure you will see future updates.

Also, The Vcenter plugin guys just got their own forum, so you may get additional traffic over there. Thanks! Rob http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/systems-management/f/4796.aspx

Updating the appliance to the newer build did solve this issue, I can now successfully inventory all of the hosts. It's bit strange that the update appliance now shows that there is a update available, but it's pointing to the older 1.7 version.

Thank you!
