Summary

Gathering inventory from Oracle VM Manager may fail if an Oracle VM server is not a member of a server pool.

Symptoms

A symptom of this problem occurring is a generic generic failure result appearing in inventory rule status files similar to the following:

<TaskStatus Result="Failed" StartDateTime="2021-09-22T15:52:35" Type="OracleVMInventory" Status="OVMManagerInventoryFailed" Duration="8.09"/>

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.

Resolution

If you believe this issue may be affecting you, contact Flexera Support to enquire about the availability of a hotfix or workaround suitable for your environment.
