No errors are observed in the hardware status tab on the vSphere Client or vSphere Webclient.
This issue occurs when the fru components fail to return data or there is no data available for the request.
This is a known issue affecting ESXi 5.1.x, 5.5.x and 6.0.Currently, there is no resolution. To workaround this issue, set CIMLogLevel log level to 1 which results in suppressing these messages that does not impact any functions or indicate any problems on the host. To set CIMLogLevel log level to 1: Log in as root to the ESXi console through SSH or iDRAC. Run this command to stop the sfcbd service: /etc/init.d/sfcbd-watchdog stop Set the CIMLogLevel to 1 using the command:esxcfg-advcfg -s 1 /UserVars/CIMLogLevel Run this command to start the sfcbd service: /etc/init.d/sfcbd-watchdog start
