I run my precheck before remediation and I get a very generic error. where can I get more detail?
Hello @taschaal.
What you could do in this case is review the following logs:
On vCenter
1. /var/log/vmware/vmware-updatemgr/vum-server/vmware-vum-server-log4cpp.log
2. /var/log/vmware/vmware-updatemgr/vum-server/vmware-vum-server.log
On the ESXi:
1. /var/log/esxupdate.log
If you want, attach those logs here so the community can do a quick peek.
Thanks for the quick response. We are evaluating HP's oneview integration with LCM and we think we discovered a network communication issue that may be the source of the problem.
Hi @taschaal,
did you ever solve this issue? I'm seeing the same error with no details and have no clue what the issue is. I don't see any connection issues, but it's also not clear to me who is talking wo whom (OV, OV4VC, vCenter, ESXi)
@Lalegre I don't have this log on my vCenter.
/var/log/vmware/vmware-updatemgr/vum-server/vmware-vum-server-log4cpp.log
Other logs show error like this:

The image itself and the status in vLCM looks good, status of firmware version too.
Interesting is that vLCM pre-check shows errors for iSUT, but amsd and iSUT (AutoDeploy) are running and the "repair" button triggers the start to fix it, but I only see in logs that service are restarted again. Status never changes to green.

Please try to remove the host from vCenter inventory and add it back.
Thanks
