Description Larry O'Leary 2012-11-06 02:10:34 UTC
Description of problem:
When service discovery is attempted for Microsoft IIS, it fails with the following exception:

    2012-11-06 03:49:11,644 WARN  [InventoryManager.discovery-1] (rhq.core.pc.inventory.InventoryManager)- Failure during discovery for [VHost] Resources - failed after 281 ms.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
4.4.0.JON310GA

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install IIS on Windows Server 2008 R2 
2. Add ON agent to same machine
3. Import IIS server into ON inventory
4. Verify IIS server resource shows available in ON inventory
  
Actual results:
No child VHost resource listed under IIS server (by default, IIS 7+ adds a single default VHost. Additionally, the agent log will reveal a Sigar failure during discovery:
    org.hyperic.sigar.win32.Win32Exception: MetaBaseInit:  Can't CoCreateInstance

Expected results:
Default IIS VHost resource under IIS Server resource in navigation tree and no failure message.

Additional info:
This issue was reproduces on a Windows Server 2008 64-bit installation both with a 32-bit JVM and a 64-bit JVM to confirm that the same issue exists in both the 32-bit and 64-bit Sigar DLLs. Additionally the test was repeated with the Sigar libraries shipped with the ON 3.0 agent to confirm that a rebuild of the libraries did not introduce a regression.

Comment 1 Larry O'Leary 2012-11-06 02:38:03 UTC
I did some quick looking and came up empty so far. Looking at the API, the method being invoked which causes this failure is win32_MetaBase_MetaBaseInit. Specifically:

    pIMeta = new (CComPtr <IMSAdminBase>);
    hRes = CoCreateInstance(CLSID_MSAdminBase, NULL, CLSCTX_ALL,
                            IID_IMSAdminBase, (void **)pIMeta);
    if (FAILED(hRes)) {
        jclass cls = env->FindClass(WIN32_PACKAGE "Win32Exception");
        env->ThrowNew(cls, "MetaBaseInit: Can't CoCreateInstance");
        return 0;
    }


Perhaps this issue impacts only this version of IIS or this version of Windows? The steps I used to reproduce this used an IIS 7.0 server. The user who reported the error indicated they were using IIS 7.5. Perhaps we need to test this in another version of Windows too?

As described by Jiri Kremser, a workaround exists. I have performed some tests and it worked.

Basically you need to "install the IIS 6.0 Metabase Compatibility component from the IIS/Metabase Compatibility category in the Turn Windows Features On And Off page of Control Panel\Programs And Features on, or the IIS role in the Server Manager tool on Windows Server 2008."

    1) Go to Control Panel on Windows
    2) Click on Turn Windows features on or off
    3) In Server manager click on Roles
    4) Right-click on Web Server (IIS)
    5) Choose Add Role Services option
    6) Select IIS 6 Metabase Compatibility option and install

Setting target back to 3.1.2 to see if we can get this into the next bug fix release.

Comment 4 Larry O'Leary 2012-11-20 23:00:09 UTC
IIS 7.5 is not supported by plugin.
