Powerpath/VE 5.7 - ERROR: Powerpath not found
We just got our VE licenses for our ESXi 5 installation but ran into some problems.
The ELM server is installed on a MS 2008 server. The RPowermt is installed on a seperate 2008 server. I have generated a 3 line license file and placed it on the RPowermt server as per the installation documentation.
When I run any rpowermt command i just get "ERROR: Powerpath not found". Powerpath/VE 5.7 is installed on the hosts. Seemed to be preinstalled on our ESXi5 hosts. Do I need any other software installed on the hosts ? I see CIM mentioned several places.
Regards

Hi Morten. Just a couple of thoughts. PowerPath/VE isn’t pre-installed on vSphere5. So, if you are executing an rpowermt command to the IP address or FQDN of the vSphere server, that could be the reason for the error. You can use Update Manager or vCLI for the installation. If PowerPath/VE is installed on the vSphere server, try looking at network related issues between the rpowermt host and the server.
I hope this helps.

Hi Brion
Thanks for you help. Your remarks about Powerpath not beeing preinstalled on ESXi 5 made me go through the documentation again. It seems i made the mistake of making the VUM baseline as a patch baseline instead of an extension baseline.
