General VSE Software

Agentless Data Collection Failures Due to WMI Query Errors  The following information was not included in the HP Insight Dynamics – VSE for ProLiant Installation and Configuration Guide document.

If agentless data collection fails due to WMI query errors, this may be because the WMI performance classes in Windows have been unregistered on the managed system, either by an inadvertent action by an administrator or a Windows problem. In this case, the error message displayed in the Visualization tab meter popups, and in stdout when running capcollect (either from a command prompt or from the OptimizeCapacity AdvisorCollect Capacity Advisor Data menu) is:

An error occurred in one or more WBEM/WMI queries to host [hostname]. Some data may be unavailable/unreliable. 
Verify that the correct version of WBEM/WMI is running on the host, then try restarting the CIM Server/WMI Service on the host.

Following are corrective actions, any one of which may correct the problem.

	NOTE: Additional ports may need to be opened for WMI/DCOM/RPC access. See the following MSDN article for details:http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms809327.aspx

In addition, the WMI service (winmgmt) must not be disabled on any Windows systems configured for agentless data collection.
