Symptoms

In PowerFlex Management Platform (PFMP), under Node Compliance Report > Software Components > Components displays a wrong VIB gets listed, which is not at all present in the RCM/IC ISO.

To confirm whether the above VIB is present or not, navigate to the node that is running the http-share pod and look inside the ISO and search for the VIB.

 

For example, IC 46.376.00 displays VMware Esx VIB 4.23.6.2.7, which is not part of this IC:

Cause

Due to a software issue in the 4.6.1 version, the PFMP database will have a duplicate record in firmware_deviceinventory.  The duplicate value is not ignored, and it compares the "vendor_id" value for nmlx5-core and nmlx5-rdma VIBs while creating records in the table.

The same logic is being used in asm-core at certain places; hence, we see invalid VIBs getting listed. 

Resolution

Upgrade to the version containing the fix, as mentioned in Fixed In Version below.
