I have SIM 5.0 SP2
Last week I saw a linux server under state Unmanaged. I deleted both the server and ilo processor from System Table and ran discovery.
SIM found the server (Serv_####) and ilo processor (ilo in Server Serv_####) but the server has no IP.
How can I solve this problem?
Thanks in advance.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: SIM Host without IP
HPSIM uses dns for IP address to name resolution.
If it can resolve any address it will display the name not the IP Address.
It does need to be able to resolve it using forward and reverse lookups in order to display the name.
Unmanaged would imply HPSIM cannot get access to the device using SNMP or another protocol. but it doesn't affect name resolution.

Re: SIM Host without IP
SIM cannot obtain IP address from Server. SIM says that it's a Server BL20p Proliant but in column IP addresss has nothing. For that, I can't see hardware status (it shows "?"). I tried with Identify but task cannot be completed (obvius... SIM has no IP to obtain data from server).
Last week it was OK, I don't know what happened.
Indeed, the problem was with 3 servers, but with the discovery task SIM could reconfigure 2 of them, but not the third one.

Re: SIM Host without IP
I really don't know what's happening.
Server can be accessed through network, so, IP configuration is fine.

Re: SIM Host without IP
The only devices I have where the "System Address" column is blank is for our EVA Storage Systems. And they're discovered via another server.
Does the ILO have an IP Address?
It's almost like the server is being discovered via the ILO but HPSIM can't determine the IP address.

Re: SIM Host without IP
You should be able to ping the IP Address.
You should also be able to use nslookup to translate the address to name and then name to address. They should match.
I suspect it's some kind of DNS issue.
Also, with nslookup repeat the tests a few times because if there are multiple dns servers you sometimes get different results.

Re: SIM Host without IP
The server is our mailserver and it's working well (in production).

SolutionThe tests need to be done from the HPSIM Server.
If it's not dns then I'm not sure what it could be.
I still think the server has been discovered via the ILO. I can't think of another way HPSIM could discover a server without being able to at least identify the IP address.

Re: SIM Host without IP
Configurations are fine.
It's crazy.
