NetXMS Support Forum

Hi Victor,

on the 1st time i have done it on a netapp controller. the controller is snmp enabled v8xxx.
it seemed to solve the problem. on the 2nd time i have discovered that apparently i have undid what i have done on the 1st time so i went on and did it on almost every node i have.

hope this helps,
Lindeamon

hi victor,

as i mentioned in the previous post, i have disabled "network discovery polling" and that appeared to fix everything. in all this years of using netxms i haven't configured  every node to disable a feature that it does not support like routing or netxms agent. do you think that not configuring might be the problem ?

hi victor,

i have configured a container with a filter script that binds nodes containing agents.
i see there 3 nodes that i know they do not have agents installed. one of the nodes is a node with duplicate node and i see that this node which is the original one has "platform name" and "system description" of the netxms server which runs on linux.
the rest of the nodes does not have a duplicate node but again, the details are of the netxms server and this nodes are snmp enabled.

hi victor,

good/bad news.
finally all the duplicated nodes are gone except for ~3. i've checked this morning and i found 3 nodes and after deleting all 3 of them only 1 came back again.
last week after i have done the upgrade i have made 2 changes that might have helped to partially solve the problem.
1. i have configured the "active network discovery" to search only x.x.x.x/16 which is my topology instead of no configuration at all.
2. i have disabled "network discovery polling" on a node that might have discovered the duplicated nodes according to the DEBUG log.
3. i have disabled everything related to node name and dns.
just to remind you i have everything on IBM blades and maybe the problem lays there.

what could be the problem?

hi victor,

i have done the test and it seems that the upgrade process didn't take place at all.
the deployment process timed out and the agent hasn't changed it's version.
again, if you could explain to me the process of the deployment maybe i will be able to find the cause for the problem.
let me try and save you the hussle of writing it down: the server connects to the agent and instruct it to do an upgrade. the agent shuts itself down and here there is a problem. do you create some kind of WMI process that goes to a unc path and execute msiexec.exe command ? do you copy the file to the destination, create a process for installing the agent and start it up ?

Hi Victor,

how come PeterSentveld has managed to successfully upgrade more then a 100 nodes and i can not upgrade only 3 and i haven't being able to do that from the beginning ?
can you explain to me what happens when i deploy the package ? let's focus on windows agents.
i download a msi package with a npi file. i import it and instruct the server to install the file with working agent. no external parameter or things like that.
what happens next ? do you create a process which runs the agent through a unc path ? do you copy the agent to a temp folder and then run it with a specific switch ?

hi victor,

when i right click on a map object and choose "show object details" i see that a refresh of some kind is occurring but i do not get the object details.

Hi Victor,

that's the one. now i understand.
can you tell me what is the difference between this and "disable routing table polling" ?

Hi Victor,

i have already installed those agents manually, will check this on next release.

hi victor,

i do not know what happened but as for now no duplicated nodes were discovered.
i will for a few days to see if the problem is solved
