Challenge

Due to weak virtual infrastructure, the discovery process takes more time than the default timeout in the HP agent.

Cause

Performance related problems on VMware vCenter side.

Solution

Workaround is to adjust settings of the agent timeout by using the following commands:

ovconfchg -ns eaagt -set OPC_KILL_AUTO_ACTION TRUE

ovconfchg -ns eaagt -set OPC_KILL_AUTO_ACTION_TIMEOUT 1200

ovconfchg -ns eaagt -set OPC_NO_SHELL_TO_EXEC_ACTION TRUE

Restart the agent after adjusting the settings.

Also increasing the collection interval will help to decrease vCenter load.

In the VEM UI, go to the Enterprise Manager tab, and in the global collection settings set Collection Interval to 10 minutes (this affects performance metrics). Also in the Advanced settings, set NetTimeout parameter to 600 (default is 210). After making these changes, restart the collectors.
