Cannot get SRM info

We have a installation which was vShere 4.1 and SRM 4.1.

We installed Usage Meter 2.3.0 and it worked OK (No SRM info as SRM 4.x not supported).

We upgraded to vSphere 5 and SRM 5 and added the two SRM servers to the Usage meter but it refuses to collect the SRM data.

Normal data on VMs is collected OK and it will produce manual reports fine but the automatic reports it sends out are blank.

I have just updated to usage meter 2.3.2 Build 692054 to see if that cures things.

Will need to wait 'till tomorrow to see what the Automatic Reports send but SRM is still no-go

the um.log for a SRM collection shows:

2012-07-26 13:13:36,292 ERROR [SRM collection] srm.SrmCollector$: An SRM collection from srmserver1.domain.local, begun at 2012-07-26 13:13:34, failed at 2012-07-26 13:13:36.

I tried removing the two SRM servers and re-adding them but if I check the "test before saving" I get a pop-up windows saying "null" and it does not save.  I can save them without testing but I assume that is the problem above (I did not add the SRMs originally).

Any pointers welcome.

We have exactly the same issue here and no clue why this happens. Any hints would be appreciated!

If we add the SRM Server with ne hostname only, we get an "unkown host exception". With the FQDN or IP we simply get null. Very strange behaviour.

My upgrade to 2.3.2 did not prove any more sucessful so deployed a completely new upsage meter at 2.3.2 (rather than the upgraded one) but am getting the same results for SRM.

I have only tried FQDN for the SRM server but have tried different credentials (read-only account, domain admin and local admin on SRM) but it will not save if I tick the "test before saving".  If I do not tick the test before saving then it saves the settings but then fails when it tries to collect the data.

I filed a support request with vmware. If I get a resolution I will post it here.

VMware confirmed that SRM 5U1 is not compatible with UM 2.3. The upcoming release 3.0 will be supported.

Thanks for the update.

Looks like the Usage Meter is always behind the times in supporting the current products

SRM 5.0.1 support was not added in Usage Meter 3.0. The documentation states that only 5.0 is supported at this time.
