Discovery VMs by IP address option in RHV discovery schedule doesn't work. - Known Error

Discovery VMs by IP address option in RHV discovery schedule doesn't work. Description When creating Discovery Schedule from RHV service account, the "Discovery VMs by IP address" is on by default. However this feature doesn't fully work.

It creates a separate discovery schedule, ending with "VM - Schedule" in the name. The schedule starts but gets cancelled immediately with error in discovery log "The Discovery range is empty".

Steps to Reproduce

> Create RHV service account > Create discovery schedule from the RHV service account > Leave "Discovery VMs by IP address" option on > Run the discovery schedule, confirm a second schedule is created (ending with "VM - Schedule" in the name) and status cancelled with error in discovery log "The Discovery range is empty"

Workaround When creating discovery schedule from RHV service account, keep "Discovery VMs by IP address" option off.

Then create a separate discovery schedule to discover "Configuration items", and create IP Ranges which include the IP Addresses of your RHV VMs.

(Please note correct discovery credentials for the RHV VMs should be created in advance)
