Management processor not accociating to server

Jerame — Wed, 20 Apr 2011 11:50:59 GMT

I'm moving from a SIM 5.3SP1 to a new SIM 6.3 server. I copied over my discovery settings, and reset up my accounts and views, and all is working well, except that my management processors are not associated with the server.

All of the management processors are detected by the new SIM CMS, and states in the name that it's in the server that is also in SIM, but the MP sphere is missing from the server.

I've edited both the server and the iLo to point to the new server, and updated the snmp trap destinations.

Any suggestions? I included the screen shot of one of the systems.

Thanks in advance,
Jerame

It looks like the assoication is there alright. Make sure that ilo is returning full xml data and re-identify everything

Discovering the iLO first and than the server might also help (See the note on the Discovery page).

Hi Shcko and Tobias,
The xml data looks good, and I deleted both the server and the ilo, and then rediscovered them, one at a time, ilo first, and still no luck!

I'm also starting to see some issues with my SW spheres (VCA) starting to show the information icon. I have some sites with three or four servers, and one of them will report correctly, and the others have the info icon. I click on it, and it says error communicating with VCA. I ran the command to increase the time our (mxglobalsettings -s http_request_timeout=60) and then ran the mxglobalsettings -ld http_request_timeout and verified that it was now at 60 seconds (from the default 15) and restarted SIM.

Reran discovery and still have 0 iLo's reporting in the MP sphere of my OS view, and have a large handful of VCA's not reporting.

I'm wondering if this can be corrected, or if I should nuke this and start over? :(

The screen shots hows that association is WOKRING???

I reference to the VCA not working, make sure the account used to access VCRM is at least a Operator in SMH and also that port 2301 is enabled in the settings for SMH ;)
