General
Problem 1: Creating multiple devices for a single router (based on the router's different IP
addresses for its different interfaces), could result in SNMP errors or TFTP
server performance problems.
Solution: Create only one device for a router using the IP address of the router's main
interface.
Problem 2: Aborting a Timed Reset may not stop all resets. The Timed Reset section of the
Firmware Upgrade Wizard and Reset Wizard has the option to abort the
operation after it has been started. In some circumstances, it is possible that the
Abort message will get overwritten by the process that sets the reset timers.
This can cause some devices to reset as scheduled.
Solution: To abort a Timed Reset operation that you have already started, click the Abort
button after all devices have a "Reset Request Status" of "Success".
Note: The Abort button is not a guarantee that you can back out of a Timed
Reset operation, since it is possible that reset timers may expire before you
decide to abort the operation.
Problem 3: Solaris only. Inventory Manager may not accept input from the keyboard's
numeric keypad.
Solution: Installing the latest patches for your operating system should fix the problem.
You can download the most recent operating system patches from
www.sunsolve.sun.com.
Problem 4: When an X−Pedition router is configured to run the OSPF routing protocol, it is
possible during TFTP transfer that the device will send TFTP packets from
different source ports. This will cause the transfer to fail with a "TFTP Error:
Undefined error." For security reasons, this is not supported by the NetSight
TFTP Server.
Solution: When OSPF routing protocol is being used on your network, you must
configure your X−Pedition devices to use a single port for TFTP traffic. Refer
to the X−Pedition Router User Reference Manual for information about using
the system set tftpsource command.
Problem 5: If you upgrade from Inventory Manager version 1.1 or earlier and import your
database, any device groups you had added under the Device Type folder
(Network Elements tab) in the earlier version are preserved in the imported
database. However, Inventory Manager 2.1 does not support the addition of
user−created device groups in the Device Type folder. User−created device
groups can now only be added in the My Network folder. (User−created device
groups are displayed in the tree with yellow folders.)
Solution: You have two options:
