When running a Data Collection task, I receive the following error on the Task Results page in the Target
Details section for a storage system: An unexpected error was encountered in the middle
of communication with the CIMOM.
Possible causes:
• The CIMOM was stopped.

When running a Data Collection task, I receive the following error on the Task Results page in the Target
Details section for a storage system: The CIMOM for this device rejected the credentials
supplied.

discovered.

Solutions:
• Ensure that the CIMOM has this device in its list of devices to manage, and that it is able to connect
to the device and gather data for it.
• Choose a different CIMOM to manage the device, and then:
Enter the IP address and credentials for that CIMOM in HP SIM. See “Configuring HP SIM with
storage systems” for instructions.
