inventory fails on all host Reason The markup in the document following the root element must be well formed
Running ver 2.1 of openmanage for vcenter and applied firmware updates to the 7 servers in a VMware stack . Now inventory fails on all servers Failed to get OMSA inventory. I run the fix non-compliant servers wizard and the log shows completed, the server reboots, logs show starting inventory, inventory failed and failed to get iDRAC ip address when starting up. If I try to run on demand I get eh markup must be well formed message.
What did I do and how do I fix it ?

Hi
the Dell Support told me last Tuesdays that there is a new VMware patch (ESXi 5.1) KB 2077641 and one patch for the OMI appliance 2.1.23 to 2.1.0.27.
I installed the patches on Friday and now it seem all is running fine.

When you open the OMI administrtion website in your browser click on appliance management. There you can find a task like "update virtual machine".
I hope the translations are right I use the OMI with german text.

Hi,
Thank you for your post.
Can you please give us few more details like
1.What generation of servers are added to your VCenter?Is it 11g or 12g?
2.Which component did you try to update?Is it Lifecycle Controller or IDRAC update?
3.Which version of ESXi is running on your servers?
4.When you said compliance fix,was it OMSA compliance?
thanks,
Midhun

1.They are all PowerEdge R810's, not sure what generation that is.
2. Originally did updates on all components, Lifecycle, DRAC , BiIOS
3. 5.1 build 1743533
4 yes, Management center shows OMSA Status Update required
Logs show clean up until it starts the inventory after the reboot, then I get inventory failed, failed to get ip address of DRAC card. If I run inventory on demand logs show failed to get OMSA inventory and then the mark must be well formed message. Last nights scheduled inventory shows the same failed to get inventory and markup message

I have the same problem with OMSA 7.3 or 7.4 and ESXi 5.1 build 1743533
Works fine on build 1612806.
rollback on VMWare is not acceptable - the update fixes a number of serious crashes and security vulnerabilities. We need a fix for OMSA.

Was there ever a solution to this problem? A rollback is unacceptable at this point.

Nothing, Dell says it may be fixed in next version, no ETA. Normal Dell answer. Will look around before refreshing servers next time

I can confirm that the latest set of patches from vmware along with the appliance upgrade have resolved this issue :)

You have to go to the vCenter plugin Admin portal webpage and log in. It is not in vCenter.
Go to Appliance management, and there is "Update Virtual Appliance" at the top of the page in the middle.
