Resolution

This error is seen when the Managed Object Browser(MOB) is disabled. With the current version SRM 3.7, MOB must be enabled to validate the test API.

 

To get rid of the error, MOB must be enabled or the error can be ignored. MOB can be disabled, and this does not affect vCenter data collection. For more information about enabling MOB, see the VMware KB article https://knowledge.broadcom.com/external/article?legacyId=2108405 (External Link)
