Issues related to the discovery of BMC

This topic addresses issues that are related to the discovery of BMC.

  • An application error might occur when invoking the Windows Discover BMC computer task

    The following application error might be displayed when invoking the Windows Discover BMC computer task:

    Application: %IBM_DIR_VBS%\EndpointDiscovery.exe Error Message: The system cannot find the file specified.

    Workaround: Add a new environment variable IBM_DIR_VBS with the value specified as the installation folder of Lenovo XClarity Integrator Hardware Management Pack, and then reboot your system.

  • If UAC is enabled, discovering BMC through the SCOM console might fail if not running SCOM console as Local Administrator

    If you attempt to discover a BMC through the SCOM console using the Discover BMC button, and User Access Control (UAC) is enabled, the discovery process might fail.

    Workaround: To discover the BMC, either disable UAC through the Control Panel first or run the SCOM console as Local Administrator.

  • Pre-authenticated BMC might lose connection after it is managed by Lenovo XClarity Administrator

    For a BMC to which you have requested access using a local BMC account before in Lenovo XClarity Integrator, Lenovo XClarity Integrator loses access to the BMC after you manage the BMC with Lenovo XClarity Administrator.

    Lenovo XClarity Administrator disables all local BMC accounts after it manages the BMC, so Lenovo XClarity Integrator cannot access the BMC using the local BMC account that you provided before.

    Workaround: Use the account that you configured in Lenovo XClarity Administrator to request BMC access again in Lenovo XClarity Integrator.
