What to do when OM stops working?

[Trond Hasle Amundsen]

Hi,

On occasion Openmanage stops working, on seemingly random times and on
random servers. Omreport will show output like this:

  # omreport chassis memory
  Memory Information
  
  Error : Memory object not found

Similar errors for all other components. Sometimes it helps to restart
the services ('srvadmin-services restart'), but most often it does not.
Only thing that seems to help is to power off the server. The servers
are running OM 5.4.0 on RHEL4 and RHEL5. The problem applies to
different poweredge models.

Have any of you experienced the same, and if so, do you have a better
solution than powering off the server?

Cheers,
