Localhost inventory fails when RBSU admin password is set

Symptom

The localhost inventory with SUM fails with the following message: Cannot perform the operation now. Reason: Connection failed to node. Verify no firewalls are blocking traffic between the system running SUM and the remote node.

Cause

When you set the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) admin password, the iLO RESTful tool used by SUM requires the iLO username and password to communicate with the local iLO via the CHIF interface.

Action
To inventory and deploy using SUM, disable the RBSU admin password.

OR

Enter iLO credentials for the node.
