Hi Morten. Just a couple of thoughts. PowerPath/VE isn’t pre-installed on vSphere5. So, if you are executing an rpowermt command to the IP address or FQDN of the vSphere server, that could be the reason for the error. You can use Update Manager or vCLI for the installation. If PowerPath/VE is installed on the vSphere server, try looking at network related issues between the rpowermt host and the server.
Thanks for you help. Your remarks about Powerpath not beeing preinstalled on ESXi 5 made me go through the documentation again. It seems i made the mistake of making the VUM baseline as a patch baseline instead of an extension baseline.
