Oracle VM 3.2 – OVMAPI_4004E Server Failed Command: HTTP server returned unexpected status: Unauthorized access attempt

February 16, 2014 · by · in Discover Virtual Server, HTTP server, OVM, OVMAPI_4004E, Unauthorized Access · 11 Comments

You might receive the error message below while discovering an Oracle Virtual Server:

(02/15/2014 05:57:26:942 PM) OVMAPI_4010E Attempt to send command: get_api_version to server: 192.168.78.157 failed. OVMAPI_4004E Server Failed Command: get_api_version , Status: org.apache.xmlrpc.client.XmlRpcHttpTransportException: HTTP server returned unexpected status: Unauthorized access attempt from ('192.168.78.155', 55150)! [Sat Feb 15 17:57:26 PST 2014] [Sat Feb 15 17:57:26 PST 2014]

This means that most likely your password for the agents user is incorrect. I got around this by resetting it on the Oracle Virtual Server. Thanks to Avi for posting it in the Oracle Forums!

$ ovs-agent-passwd oracle
Password:
Again:

Attempt to rediscover again, and it should work.

Cheers!

      Gagan,

      Are you following a specific documentation set to create this environment? It’s possible that your VM Manager’s network isn’t set up for external traffic.

    Hi

    Having a similar issue to above; but with VMS 3.2.2 on a physical server and VM Manger 3.2.4 in a vitualbox environment; for what ever reason cannot discover the VM server, all on the same network of 192.168.10.0/24; done all the necessary changes and read many blogs about changing ovs agent password; still no luck what ever I do; disabled AV, firewalls; error messages below…

    any ideas

      Mo, I apologize but I’m not sure why you’re getting this error message. Open up an SR with MOS and see if they can assist.

      Good luck!

    Hi,

    I am getting the same error which you have explained here. I am trying to create OVM environment in VirtualBox as per the demo shared by Oracle. They never mention the password for VM agent in the PDF. Now to change the password, I will need to login as root in OVM server. I am using the pre-built appliances shared by Oracle and they haven’t mentioned the password for root user even for the OVM server. How can I change password for VM agent in that scenario.

    Thanks,
    Inderjeet Singh

    OVMRU_005013E PXE boot requires that the virtual machine : new_vm, has atleast one VNIC

    I am getting this error, don’t know why?

    1. maazanjum · · Reply→

      I’m not sure why Chaitanya. I don’t have access to an OVM instance anymore to troubleshoot.

      Does your Virtual Machine “new_vm” have a Virtual NIC assigned to it?
