HP SIM Discovery Problems

Steve Robinson_15 — Tue, 02 Aug 2005 05:42:44 GMT

I am having a problem discovering any systems in HP SIM, either by Automatic or Manual Discovery.

The discovery routine runs to completion but nothing is added to the All systems lists, if I check the Insight Manager Audit Log it shows that the pings were successful but there are no ADD statements.

I have found that if I stop and Start SQL then I can run a Discovery OK but I can only run one and then I have to Stop and Start SQL again.

I am running HP SIM 4.2 with latest service pack and MSDE 2000 locally on the SIM server which is running Windows 2000 Server SP4.

Can anybody help ?

Please check if you have enabled the discovery filters...and of cousre, are you able to ping to the other systems from the CMS? I hope there is no ICMP blocking done in your network.

I am currently running the Discovery without filters and we have no restrictions to stop ICMP requests.

Here's a sample of the log:-

When it works properly you normally see and ADD statement.
