Identified, ignored extra IP: False warning in Discovery

[Amit Sharma4]

Hi All

I understand "Identified, ignored extra IP" is a warning in Discovery and supposed to be ignored , generally.

But during my discovery scans I have come across several "Identified, ignored extra IP" warning message which were not correct as in, when I try to discover the IP individually, it creates a new CI with all proper details. On the other hand, if I run discovery on a number of IP address in same segment, I again get the same warning.

Please guide, how to deal with this.

Thanks

Amit

The identifier is already ignoring the extra IPs just fine, right? It's just that he can't tell the difference between LPARs because they share the same serial numbers. I think you need the identifier to get the partition ID in there as well so he can discriminate between LPARs, and the Out of the Box probes just don't handle that yet.

Hi Tim,

Over the time I found two work around for this.

1: Discovery of Solaris Zones : So far I did not try this.

2: Solaris Blades : Tried this and it worked fine.

Thanks
