findByUUID does not seem to be working

Hi All,

I am using VMWare SDK 5.0 Java APIs with VCenter Server 5.0.0.

The findByUUID documentation says "Finds a virtual machine or host by BIOS or instance UUID.".

But in my case it does not seem to be able to find the Host.

service.findByUuid(serviceContent.getSearchIndex(), null, hostuuid, false, null);

This always returns null.

I tried with uppercase/lowercase for the UUID, but that did not work either.

I also tried passing the instanceUUID field as false, which also did not work.

When I tried a findByUuid through MOB, it gives me the following message

Method Invocation Result: InvalidType

Any help to get to the root cause of this issue would be much appreciated.

Thanks in Advance,

Regards,

Prashant
