SIM 5.1 not discovering system type

Chris Iversen — Wed, 24 Oct 2007 14:05:42 GMT

Why is is that after doing a discovery some systems come up complete, i.e system name, IP, system type also with icons in the HS, MP, SW, VPM, PF and ES colums. But in other cases it only resolves the system name, IP, HS, ES, VPM and the system type shows "unknown". I know the target system is a Proliant DL380-G5. Also I am able to push support packs etc to it from my SIM server.

Use "Configure or Repair Agents" to correct communications problems.

Usually it's snmp that is misconfigured.
Check that snmp has the HPSIM server as an allowed host and the correct community name.

While your there, check the Trap Destination has also been set to point to the HPSIM server.

Probably you're having a problem with the insight agents on that server.
Try reeinstallig them using the latest Proliant Support Pack.
