Oracle VM sever on the Manager -server pool shows status as unreachable

Question

Hi,
I have 2.2 Oracle vm server which was working fine , has 4 VMN's on it and was registered to the manager 2.2
If I go on serverpool or server tab in the manager - it shows inactive and unreachable,even though the sever actually is alive and VM's are running onit.
Its just the communciation or connection between server and manager is broken somewhere.I really need help
The Disk and memory status became - 'Not Available" on the manager.
This was when i initiated - Create new Virtualk machine.
Usually after next refresh ot comes back ,but in this case - its still on unknown state.
All the vm's though are up and runnning fine - the status on the manager shows as - powered off.
If I try to manually - powere on - I get an error in the manager logs -
Start - /OVS/running_pool/1239_2k8
PowerOn Failed : Result - failed:<OVSException: no server of type 'xen' ready to run the vm.>
StackTrace:
File "/opt/ovs-agent-2.2/OVSSiteVM.py", line 79, in start_vm
raise e
Please help
I have rebooted the server but no luck.
Thanks....

I have experienced the same issue. Here is a way to workaround to solve it:
1. login to OVM manager host as oracle user
2. Set the propler environment to login to the OVM reporistory database. for exampl in Unix/Linux
export ORACLE_HOME='/usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server'
export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH
export ORACLE_SID=XE
3. Login to the repository database as ovs user:
sqlplus ovs/<passsword>
and run the following SQLs:
update ovs_server set status = 'Active' where SERVER_NAME = '<OVS serverhostname.domain.com>';
commitl;
4. Go to OVM manager and cllick the refresh button on the servers page. The status of the OVS server will be changed to 'Active'
and you can power on the VM.
