Duplicate Listings for Brocade Switches

in Same Fabric

If you discover more than one Brocade switch in the same fabric, the Targets tab displays duplicate

listings for the Brocade switches. Each Brocade switch is listed multiple times with the IP address of

the other switches and its own.
For example, assume you discovered Brocade switches QBrocade2 and QBrocade5 in the same

fabric, the switches are listed twice on the Targets tab. QBrocade2 is listed twice, once with its own

IP address, the other time with the IP address of QBrocade5, as shown below:

192.168.10.22 Switch QBrocade2, QBrocade5 admin

192.168.10.25 Switch QBrocade2, QBrocade5 admin

Element Logs Authentication Errors During Discovery

During discovery, you may see SNMP authentication errors on the element you are trying to

discover. The management server is probing the element with an SNMP request. If the element does

not know the management server, it logs authentication errors.

EMC Device Masking Database Does Not Appear

in Topology (AIX Only)

An EMC device masking database attached to an AIX host does not appear in the Topology tree

under the Application Path - Unmounted node on the Topology tab in System Manager.
If the EMC device masking database is attached to a host running Microsoft Windows or Sun

Solaris, the masking database appears under the Application Path - Unmounted node.

Management Server Does Not Discover Another

Management Server's Database

In some situations the management server may not discover another management server’s

database. Make sure that the Oracle monitoring software (CreateOracleAct.bat for Microsoft

Windows) is installed on the management server to be discovered and that the Oracle instance is

added to the discovery list.

Microsoft Exchange Drive Shown as a Local Drive

Microsoft Exchange Servers have a drive M. The software displays this drive as a local fixed disk,

instead of a Microsoft Exchange Server special drive.

Unable to Discover Microsoft Exchange Servers

If DNS records for your Microsoft Exchange servers are outdated or missing, the discovery of

Microsoft Exchange may fail because Microsoft Exchange is dependant on Active Directory, which

is dependant on DNS. Since Active Directory is dependant on DNS, Active Directory replication

and Active Directory lookups may fail or contain errors if DNS records are not accurate.

Nonexistent Oracle Instance Is Displayed

The software uses the Oracle Transparent Name Substrate (TNS) listener port to detect Oracle

instances on a server. Sometimes an Oracle instance is removed from the server, but not from the
