Be aware that a generic failure like this may also be a symptom of a different problem - this result is not specific to this issue.
Cause
The Oracle VM Manager inventory gathering process expects that all servers are a member of a server pool, and aborts the gathering inventory process with a failure if a server without a server is found without a server pool.
