Rudder

I had errors with the Inventory with a Centos 5.7 Xen domu.

On the server the error looks like this when running /var/rudder/cfengine-community/bin/cf-agent -KI:

 !! Finished command related to promiser "/var/rudder/inventories/incoming" -- an error occurred (returned 22)

[2013-01-03 01:15:55] INFO  com.normation.inventory.provisioning.endpoint.FusionReportEndpoint - New input report: 'server.fqdn-2013-01-02-17-56-45.ocs'
[2013-01-03 01:15:55] ERROR com.normation.inventory.provisioning.endpoint.FusionReportEndpoint - Error when trying to parse report: 
Can't parse the input report, aborting
cause: Error when post processing report with 'post_process_inventory:check_consistency', abort
cause: Missing node ID attribute 'UUID' in report. This attribute is mandatory and must contains node ID.
cause: Missing XML element: 'UUID'.

on the node we have following error when forcing the inventory with cf-agent -KDforce_inventory -b doInventory -I:

 Proposed executable file "/usr/sbin/xenstore-read" doesn't exist

on the node effectively the path for xenstore-read is wrong:

which xenstore-read
/usr/sbin/xenstore-read

issue fixed with these changes in /var/rudder/cfengine-community/inputs/inventory/1.0/fusionAgent.cf and /opt/rudder/share/initial-promises/inventory/1.0/fusionAgent.cf, line 302 :

"VMRUDDERUUID" string => execresult("/usr/bin/xenstore-read vm","noshell");
