Socket error: [Errno 11004] getaddrinfo failed
Posted: Thu Feb 16, 2017 3:59 pm
The following error is due to the PYWBEM library having issues resolving host names. Not sure why it can't resolve a host name, we have seen this where when probes are doing 2 or more ESX hosts the first will resolve fine but the second and third, etc will fail with this error.
The fix was to use IP addresses for all ESX hosts at location.
