Cause:
Cause type:
By design
Root Cause: Between version 3.x and 4.3 there was a complete redesign of the agent. Therefore, agents should be created newly instead of reusing an old agent created with solution 3.x.
Environment:
Release: AOMVMW99000-4.0-Automic-Operations Manager-VMware vCenter Agent
Component:
Resolution:
Best practices is to create completely new agents with the new solution.
Fix Status: No Fix
Fix Version(s):
N/A
Additional Information:
Workaround :
If an old agent was reused and that error appears:
- Stop the agent.
- Remove all files from the directory lib in the RA agent's bin-directory.
- Start the agent again.
