Issue/Introduction

Symptoms:

• In vSphere Client > Administration > Licensing > Assets > Hosts, it does not show more than 100 hosts in the list. 
• Filtering list for specific hosts does not show the host
• Licenses appear fine when viewing license directly on the host.
• Within /var/log/vmware/cis-license/license.log you see the following error(s):

• In the vsphere_client_virgo.log you see errors such as:
  

  YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS [ERROR] data-service-pool-95  # c.vmware.license.client.cis.adapter.BaseDataProviderAdapterImpl  Unable to retrieve licensing data:  com.vmware.vim.binding.vmodl.fault.SystemError: java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException

Environment

VMware vCenter Server 7.0.x

Cause

The pagination of the Assets table only displays up to 100 hosts, so if there are more than 100, the Index is out of bounds and thus prevents any hosts from 100 from displaying.

Resolution

There is no resolution at this time.

Workaround:

Modifying the Items per page before any attempt at viewing the results should allow the full amount of assets to be seen.

1. Login to Web client.
2. Go to Admin > Licensing > Assets > Hosts.
3. Before doing anything, change the "Items per page" to 200 or greater (instead of 100).
4. Then click the > next page button or do a filter search.
5. All of the hosts should be visible now.

Additional Information

Impact/Risks:
Unable to view licensing data for host assets when the number of hosts is greater than 100.
