2 IPs on one Windows Server

[manddar]

Hi There,

I am working on project where discovery is used primarily to load new CIs into CMDB table.

Currently I am facing issue mentioned as below.

There are 2 IPs on windows server CI, One is created as Backup and other is created as Production IP as per network adapters table and relation. But primary IP of device do not match.

e.g.

Consider, There are 2 IPs for CI "ASDF" as 192.168.1.1 & 192.168.1.2 where 192.168.1.1 is tagged as Backup & 192.168.1.2 is tagged as Production IP, for testing purpose I scheduled discovery for 192.168.1.2 IP.

Once discovery completed, both of these IPs are placed in Network Adaptors table, however "IP field in win_server CI" is given backup IP and not production IP.

I think discovery should set production IP in place of IP Address field in win_server CI.

Now client is asking for for further analysis, when I tried to do quick discovery both IPs are returned as unresolved and no special attribute such as Back & Production IP.

Has anyone came across such issue?

The Network Adapter record has only one; the old IP address listed.

There is no entry for the New IP in the network adapters.

Thanks Aleck, for detailed explanation.

But how the IP Address field gets automatically updated with new IP as the old IP is still part of NIC, without manually update.

Thank You.
