This is from the vmm 2.1 logfile on the CMS server :

2007/03/18 14:16:15 | INFO - SIM SOAP access failed.
2007/03/18 14:16:15 | WARN - Waiting 30 seconds until retrying to contact SIM.

The microsoft iscsi driver was not installed. Downloaded it from the Microsoft website (2.0.3).

Problem reserviced after a reboot. The logfile again reports :

2007/03/20 07:34:08 | INFO - Not binding factory to JNDI, no JNDI name configured

This problom is solved. When I install a certificate from one of our internal CA's the VMM service will no longer funtion. The creation of a new certificate on the CMS and a retart of the SIM service in enough to get the VMM service working again.
