Discovery errors
An error
that occurs during the discovery of a candidate system results in
the placing of the system on the Pending Devices list. Each system
entry on the Pending Devices list has an accompanying comment that
describes the discovery error.
In most cases, the IP Manager
writes discovery errors to its log file. The log file is named <IP
Manager instance name>_<locale>_<character encoding>.log (for
example, INCHARGE-AM_en_US_UTF-8.log) and is located in the BASEDIR/smarts/local/logs
directory in the IP Management Suite installation area.
In some
cases, the IP Manager prints a message, in the Discovery Progress
window just below the Discovery Status section, that explains the
discovery error.
The following is a representative and not a
complete list of discovery errors:
- System hostname does not resolve to an IP address
- SNMP agent violates SNMP protocol
- System does not support SNMP
- Incorrect read community string
- Insufficient number of volume licenses
