How to discover Virtual machines with OCS inventory agent 2.1

Question

I have several virtual machines (OS Linux Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.5, 6.6...) and I've installed on them the OCS agent 2.1. The problem is that the application doesn't recognized that those servers are virtual Machines.In the application the option of VM are disabled.

 

On the log you can see those lines:

I have the file VmWare.pm on the server in the following path:

[root@ullonnms02 NonLSB]# pwd
/usr/local/share/perl5/Ocsinventory/Agent/Backend/OS/Linux/Distro/NonLSB
[root@ullonnms02 NonLSB]# ls -ltr
total 60
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 462 may 19  2014 VmWare.pm

And the file: VmWareESX.pm in the following path:

/usr/local/share/perl5/Ocsinventory/Agent/Backend/Virtualization
[root@ullonnms02 Virtualization]# ls -ltr
total 56
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 1336 may 19  2014 VmWareESX.pm
 

Does anybody could help me to solve the problem?

Hi,

The problem is located in the gui. Actually the link between hypervisor and vms is bad. We're working on this problem and the next release will contain the correction. Please be patient.
