Hello all,

I'm having problems with extracting the device details for our platform.  When running the following:

/opt/zenoss/bin/zendevicedump -o /tmp/zenoss_dump.xml


The terminal hangs for a considerable amount of time (enough for me to go and get lunch and come back).  Eventually the following error was dumped out:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/opt/zenoss/Products/ZenRelations/ExportDevices.py", line 229, in <module>
    ex.export()
  File "/opt/zenoss/Products/ZenRelations/ExportDevices.py", line 215, in export
    doc = parseString(buffer.getvalue())
  File "/opt/zenoss/lib/python/_xmlplus/dom/minidom.py", line 1925, in parseString
    return expatbuilder.parseString(string)
  File "/opt/zenoss/lib/python/_xmlplus/dom/expatbuilder.py", line 942, in parseString
    return builder.parseString(string)
  File "/opt/zenoss/lib/python/_xmlplus/dom/expatbuilder.py", line 223, in parseString
    parser.Parse(string, True)
  File "/opt/zenoss/lib/python/_xmlplus/dom/expatbuilder.py", line 787, in start_element_handler
    aname, EMPTY_PREFIX)
  File "/opt/zenoss/lib/python/_xmlplus/dom/minidom.py", line 359, in __init__
    d['childNodes'] = NodeList()


I've tried Googling, and Searching here, but can't seem to find any solutions.

Anyone have any ideas?

No worries.  Turns out if you leave it long enough (well over two hours) it will eventually complete successfully.
