Comment 2 Thomas Hennessy 2016-11-16 13:43:24 UTC

Text below is taken from customer description of his environment which has two worker appliances, both of which encounter failures when attempting to scan vm appliances using UEFI .

=====
There is only one HD on the VMs that are failing.

The VMs that are currently failing with this error are (listing for my own sake):

- ipa01
- ipa02
- mta01
- rhs01
- rhs02
- ssh01
- sto01

All of these are running RHEL 7.2 using a thin provisioned disk.

There are several other RHEL VMs that are succeeding (few examples):

- cfg01
- dns01
- mon01

These VMs are also running RHEL 7.2 using a thin provisioned disk.

=============================================

Below is a comparison of the partitioning layout between VMs that are failing (ssh01, ipa01) and VMs that are succeeding (mon01, cfg01)

=============================================

The scan fails on both cwk01 and cwk02 appliances.

It appears that all VMs that have a vfat UEFI partition are failing. VMs that do not have this partition are succeeding. This is the only difference i see thus far.

No errors are reported in vCenter on any of the VMs failing to scan.
