It's definitely a bug in VCRM / VCA version 7.3. I've just been fussing more with the missing firmware/BIOS info in VCA and it's just not showing anything. I tried swapping my SMH between snmp and wbem for data collection and it doesn't matter, the firmware is just plain missing either way.
In our case as well, our VCRM has been up and running for a couple weeks and it's definitely not rebuilding/verifying the catalog... trust me, I know when that's happening because each time it does that, it bugs the heck out of me. Reading one file at a time, pokey slow. Just cache the data, okay? Only re-read and extract the info from the EXE if it's actually different... how hard is that?
