Oracle VM Manager cannot discover Oracle VM Server if the server is installed on an
Fiber Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) LUN over a Broadcom Converged
Network Adapter (CNA) and the interface name is appended with
-fcoe
; for example,
eth.1002-fcoe
.
Discovery fails with the following error message:
OVMAPI_6055E Discover target:server_name
, Discover failed with error: For input string: "1002
-fcoe"
In addition, to avoid issues with interface names and discovery of Oracle VM Server, you should:
Avoid including a period mark "
.
" in the interface name. If you add the interface to a VLAN, the name of the interface then includes two period marks. For example, you name an interface asMyName2.ab
. If you then add the interface to a VLAN, a second period mark is included in the name, such asMyName2.2ab.5
.Create interface names that are less than 15 characters. If you plan to add the interface to a VLAN, you should allow at least two characters in the interface name for the VLAN ID.
Ensure that the interface name of a VLAN follows the format of
, whereInterfaceName
.1234
1234
is the VLAN ID that contains numeric characters only.
Workaround: Manually edit the
name of the interface to remove the *-fcoe
string. For example, change the name of the interface from
to
MyName
-fcoe
.
MyName
