Yes.

Hi!  Do you have the same message if you use the IP address and FQDN of the ESX host with the command?

I sent this over to Engineering and they need more details about the environment. 

- Is this a fully configured ESX?  If so how many devices?

- Does the ESX have a lot of traffic?

- Is the network busy?

Yes the ESXi5 hosts are fully configured with 49 devices.

No, the ESXi host do not have much traffic

No, the network is not busy.  We are using vlans and the vlan that the ESXi hosts responds to is separate.

Hi! This is not expected behavior with PowerPath and the rpowermt command.  Please open a Support case so that they can help to determine the issue.

Hi There

has there been any update to this issue?

I am seening the same problem.

I have vCenter 5 installed on W2K8 R2 SP1, ESXi 5 build 515841, RTOOL's and ELM installed on vCenter server.

the problems seems intermittant as i do somethimes get a response at other times it says powerpath not installed.

this happens with any rpowermt command.

I can confirm the licenses from the ELM have been issued.

I have opened an SR with EMC support.

Hi.  Have you tried running rpowermt commands to an ESX server running the 5.0 build and not the patched version you specified?

Thanks, Brion

Found out the cause of our issue, we had an older version of the Dell OSMA VIB installed that seemed to be conflicting, once removed PowerPath VE returned to normal, we then install a newer version of the Dell VIB and everything is good.
