Hi Ritesh,

It is likely that the uuid's changed in the upgrade because we didn't
handle the file renaming well. Do you have both
/etc/xensource-inventory and /etc/xcp/inventory? The second file is
the correct location. You may be able to copy the uuid from the first
inventory file into the second.

If this doesn't work, could you please attach both inventory files,
and the log file /var/log/xcp-xapi.log to the bug report? Thanks for
testing our software!
