Discovery of empty AIX Server

[Jeffrey Beaudry]

Good morning all,

We are currently experiencing an issue where Discovery is creating an empty/unknown AIX server that should not be picked up.

I run discovery on 10.5.250.201, and successfully pick up the UNIX Cluster, IBM Frame, and two AIX servers.

'newleaf_pboota' is the correct AIX server thats correctly populated while 'newleaf' is the incorrect AIX server and has no data.

Unable to determine how this incorrect server is being identified.

Requesting assistance on ability to stop discovery of this incorrect/empty AIX server CI. Thank you!

Hi @Jeffrey Beaudry ,

We have had instances in the past where it picked the Old DNS names.

Check with the network team to see if the DNS names are mapped appropriately for the IP address.

If my answer helped in any way, please mark it as ✅Correct & 👍Helpful

Thank you Mahathi.  Looking into the DNS names was able to lead me to a resolution with our Networking and CMDB team.
