Cannot add Devices to CIM anymore

[Fleurke]

Since a week I cannot manually add devices or change device settings in CIM 7 any more.

This alway used to work, and most of the times after a restart of the SQL server, I could add or change devices in CIM.

Now I tried all, but cannot add new devices to CIM. De Database is on the same server as CIM.For the rest CIM still functions and reports device status etc. Any idears?

Unless someone out there has experienced the exact same thing and has an easy answer, this one sounds like a support case to me...

Hello,
We've had about the same problem, but with HP SIM. Our problem was that we hadn't "configured our SQL-server correct".

HP SIM filled up our transaction-logs (over 10 GB with logs) on our SQL-server, until there where no more disk availble. That resulted in some odd problems, including the one you described.

Regards
Johnny S.

Thanks for the info, but our transactionlog is only 125 MB of the reserved 2999,99 MB, so this can hardly be the problem.

I did delete some events to check, but no results.

I have also experienced this problem on CIM 7.

I have posted the question before, and found that NO ONE can give a definitive answer as to why this keeps happening.

The only way I fixed this problem was to schedule a reboot of the server running CIM7 and SQL once a week.

Ever since doing thsi, teh problem has not re-occured.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for all your input.

But CIM and SQL is on the same server. When rebooting the server, the problem does not dissappear.

But it seems like CIM does add devices, but it takes an awfull lot of time (days).
