HP Procurve Manager plus
I have HP Procurve manager installed, Everything seems to be functioning fine, But if i try and scan for configurations, I get a timeout error almost immediately. I have checked the SNMP community strings and the telnet username and password, and they are all correct.
Any ideas?
Cheers
Jonathan

Re: HP Procurve Manager plus
Did you set them up in your global preferences? Did you leave the Default Telnet Manager Username blank?
Did you setup the PCM server as an IP Manager?
What does the device log viewer say?

Re: HP Procurve Manager plus
I set up all the SNMP and telnet details, and all of the switches initially.
The PCM server is one of the IP auth managers and has the correct SNMP details, If it didn't, it would not detect all of the switches in the first place.
The device log viewer just tells me that it failed due to a timeout error.
I am pretty certain everything is correct, I can access the device no problem via telnet, using the details i configured in PCM, and also, i can access the device CLI via PCM and edit it etc. So it all appears correct, But still can't scan for configs!
Cheers

Re: HP Procurve Manager plus
When you telnet in, does it prompt for username or just password?
If you don't logout properly from a telnet session, it will keep a session open and prevent the scan from starting another session. The error message is a bit unclear on that. Try to telnet in and issue a KILL to clear all the sessions or reboot the switch if you can.
I can scan even when I have a single telnet session open but if I run up a few sessions by closing out of the telnet window without a proper logout, the scan will fail for me too.

Re: HP Procurve Manager plus
I used the 'Password manager user-name' command to do this, so i presume that is what you mean by the default manager username?

Re: HP Procurve Manager plus
I am also able to Telnet to the devices from the PCM box and access them using the username and password i configured. It seems strange to me that the PCM software is doing everything else i want it too except for Scanning for configs!

When you telnet from the PCM interface, you are merely spawing the Telnet command and the only thing PCM provides is the IP. The username/password you provide entirely outside of the PCM interface so that is not a test of whether the telnet username/password is properly configured in PCM, only that it is configured in the switch. You still have not confirmed whether you set the default telnet password under Tools | Preferences... | Device Access | Telnet. You offer only the above quote as proof, but I contend that proof it is not.
It seems strange to me that the PCM software is doing everything else i want it too except for Scanning for configs!
Not everything PCM does is through the telnet protocol. The only other way, besides asking HP, would be to run a network trace to see what protocols are used for what functions and to see what is actually passed to the switch during a scan.
If the default telnet password under Tools | Preferences... | Device Access | Telnet has been set, what is you removed a switch from PCM and let it rediscover?
BTW, I don't recall you mentioning what version of PCM you are running. 1.5 has been out for a while and there are patches out for it and I believe 1.6 is close to being released.
