Hi ,

10.255.XXX.XXX is not a reachable host (no response to target ports scanned by MID).

 

Port is open , checked with running this command netstat -aon

Check to see if there is a firewall or other similar security measures in place. While your port check was successful, your error message suggests that traffic is being blocked by something.

I ran into a similar error recently while testing out vCenter. And even though my credential test and parameter test were both successful, attempting to run a discovery against the appliance gave me an error like yours. And if you're curious, our issue was a firewall blocking traffic.

Hi,

 

Kindly make sure that the device is reachable via mid. One way to do that is to go to vm where mid server is installed and try pinging the target ip. Make sure there is no firewall on the target infra.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Thanks
