Inventory failing when performing firmware update task on
ESXi 5.x host
After registering a vCenter server, if you perform firmware update task on an ESXi 5.x host and select iDRAC as the component from the
Select Component screen, the ESXi in the host might not be synchronized with the new iDRAC IP, thereby resulting in an invalid iDRAC
IP provided to OMIVV. Hence, you cannot run inventory successfully on that host.
Resolution: To resolve this issue, restart the sfcdb daemon on the ESXi host. See https://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/
search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=2077693 for more information.

Host inventory or test connection fails due to invalid or
unknown iDRAC IP.
The host inventory or test connection fails due to invalid or unknown iDRAC IP and you receive messages such as "network latencies or
unreachable host", "connection refused", "operation has timed out", "WSMAN", "no route to host", and "IP address: null".
1. Open the iDRAC virtual console.
2. Press F2 and navigate to Troubleshooting Options.
3. In Troubleshooting Options, navigate to Restart Management Agents.
4. To restart the management agents, press F11.
A valid iDRAC IP is now available.
NOTE:
Host inventory can also fail when OMIVV fails to enable WBEM services on hosts running ESXi 6.5. See Creating
connection profile on page 47 for more information about WBEM service.
On running fix noncompliant vSphere hosts wizard, the
status of a specific host is displayed as Unknown
When you run the fix noncompliant vSphere hosts wizard to fix noncompliant hosts, the status of a specific host is displayed as
"Unknown". The unknown status is displayed when iDRAC is not reachable.
Resolution: Verify the iDRAC connectivity of the host and ensure that inventory is run successfully.
