  Could not find the object or access denied.
  Details:Could Not Able To Create New Directory For VCenter <hostname>

Troubleshooting

CRS debugs show the folllowing error message

[ 2] [OB2_CreateDirectory] mkdir(/etc/opt/omni/server/Integ/Config/VMware/<hostname>) failed, errno=[2] No such file or directory



 

Answer

The problem is related to wrong folder name "Integ" instead of "integ" and “Config” instead of “config”.

Workaround

Create Integ and Config as a link of integ and config:
Example command:

cd /etc/opt/omni/server/
ln -s /etc/opt/omni/server/integ Integ
cd config
ln -s /etc/opt/omni/server/integ/config Config
