Localhost inventory fails with SUM

msobers22 — Fri, 10 Nov 2023 10:56:24 GMT

Hello,

We are getting the following message while trying to run SUM on a ProLiant Gen10 Windows server.
"Cannot perform the operation now. Reason: Connection failed to node. Verify no firewalls are blocking traffic between the system running SUM and the remote node."

Actions we have tried so far:

Disabled the Windows Firewall
Ran smartupdate from the commandline with /open_firewall parameter
Ran smartupdate from the commandline with the /port and /ssl_port parameters changing the default ports
Removed the security agent from the server

I welcome any suggestions on what to try next to resolve this issue.

Thanks

Hi,

A similar issue is discussed in this document. Also see the below steps if this helps.

Local host inventory fails when ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) admin password is set

Symptom
The local host inventory with SUM fails with the following message:Cannot perform the operationnow. Reason: Connection failed to node. Verify no firewalls are blocking traffic between the system running SUM and the remote node

Cause
When users set the RBSU admin password, the iLO RESTful tool used by SUM requires the iLO username and password to communicate with the local iLO via the CHIF interface

Action
To inventory and deploy using SUM, disable the RBSU admin password.
Or
Enter iLO credentials for the node

Thank You!

@Suman_1978 thanks for the reply.

We have verified that there is no RBSU password.

We have also tried using the iLO credentials. We have opened a support case but so far no suggestions have worked.

i'm in the same spot. Just to test, I setup another node to a different server, and that worked fine (added, scanned, ready for review and deploy) So it sounds like it is a "Local host" issue.

UPDATE Never mide. i loaded this on the different server, and tried to scan the 1st server. same error. and it scanned the different server fine. sigh.
