• If you enter VMware host credentials using an IP address that is different from the host IP address,
those credentials do not change. The Host Property option on the settings icon list is intended for
the selected host only. Do not attempt to change credentials for a different host.
• Moving the cursor over the Consolidated health or Setting icon does not display a window.
Suggested action 1: Refresh the page.
Suggested action 2: Ensure that the page is fully loaded before attempting to view the status
window.
• Server Status Information and Power Status information is missing from the Host portlet.
In order to display all information in the portlets, you must install HP CIM providers (HP ESXi
Offline Bundle for VMware and ESXi, and HP Management Agents for VMware ESX).
• The network diagram display is incomplete.
When a VM is not accessible by the Hypervisor (such as if the VM is on a datastore which
has been detached from the host), the HP OneView for vCenter network diagram is incomplete.
Suggested action: Reattach the datastore to the host to get a complete network diagram.
◦
◦ On a configuration with large number of VMs and datastores, it can take a long time for HP
OneView for vCenter to draw the network diagram. You might see a dialog box prompt
indicating that it is taking too long to run the script on the page and be prompted to continue
to run the script or stop running it.
Suggested action: Click Yes to stop the script from running, which prevents the diagram from
completing, or click No to wait for the complete diagram to appear.
