Searching the Help
To search for information in the Help, type a word or phrase in the Search box. When you enter a group of words, OR is inferred. You can use Boolean operators to refine your search.
Results returned are case insensitive. However, results ranking takes case into account and assigns higher scores to case matches. Therefore, a search for "cats" followed by a search for "Cats" would return the same number of Help topics, but the order in which the topics are listed would be different.
Words and Phrases
| Search for | Example | Results |
|---|---|---|
| A single word | cat
|
Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats". |
|
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase. |
"cat food" (quotation marks) |
Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase. |
Using Boolean Operators
| Search for | Operator | Example |
|---|---|---|
|
Two or more words in the same topic |
|
|
| Either word in a topic |
|
|
| Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase |
|
|
| Topics that contain one string and do not contain another | ^ (caret) |
cat ^ mouse
|
| A combination of search types | ( ) parentheses |

VMware Discovery Troubleshooting
-
Problem. The following error message is displayed:
Required class %s not found. Verify VMware SDK jar files are present in probe. See documentation for details.
Cause. The SDK *.jar files are not copied to the Data Flow Probe.
Solution. Copy the *.jar files as described in VMware Prerequisites.
Problem. The following error message is displayed:
User does not have required 'System.Read' permission
Cause. There is a lack of permissions from the user account when DFM connects to the ESX server's vCenter Server.
Solution.
-
Verify that credentials are defined for the VMware Infrastructure Management (VIM) protocol in the proper priority, so that credentials with full permissions have a lower index number than credentials with less permissions. For details, see "Index" in the HPE Universal CMDB Data Flow Management Guide.
-
If DFM previously discovered connections using credentials with less than full permissions, you must rerun the connection job.
-
For ESX connection and topology: run VMware ESX Connection by VIM) to update the
credentials ID attributeof ESX server, and then run the topology job VMware ESX Topology by VIM). -
For vCenter topology: edit the integration point and choose credentials with more permissions.
-
Problem. The VMware vCenter Connection by VIM or Manual VMware VIM Connection job fails with the following error message:
java.security.cert.CertificateException: Certificates does not conform to algorithm constraints
Cause. Java security policy has been changed in Java 7u40 or later. The key size restriction has been changed to 1024 bit or more but VMware vCenter 4.0 uses 512 bit key.
Solution.
- Go to the <DataFlowProbe installation folder>\bin\jre\lib\security directory.
-
Open the java.security file, and then find the following setting:
jdk.certpath.disabledAlgorithms=MD2, DSA, RSA keySize < 1024 -
Change the value 1024 to 512 or less than 512.
