PowerPath/VE 5.7 Timeout waiting for response from provider
I have powerpath 5.7 running on vSphere ESXi5 with the RTOOLS and license server running on RedHat Linux 5.6. I am getting inconsistent slow responses, errors like Host not found when running rpowermt commands. They work sometimes but for the most part they don't. On one of the ESX host I am seeing the following messages when trying to run rpowermt commands:
sfcb-sehost_omc: Timeout waiting for response from provider.
Has anyone seen this problem and if so please assist.
Thanks...

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?

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.

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Dell OSMA VIB installed that seemed to be conflicting, once removed PowerPath VE returned to normal, we then install a newer version of the Dell VIB and everything is good.
