Ok guys so I need your help!
I'm busy configuring our licensed version of NCM
Orion
| Module Name | Orion Core |
| Version | 2012.2.0 |
| Service Pack | None |
| Nodes currently monitored | 186 |
| Total nodes in license | 500 |
| Volumes currently monitored | 0 |
| Total volumes in license | 500 |
NCM
| Product Name | SolarWinds Network Configuration Manager |
| Version | 7.1.1 |
| Service Pack | None |
| License | Production |
| Allowed number of nodes | 500 |
| Current number of nodes | 186 |
Yesterday I managed to backup the configuration files of 105 out 186 Cisco devices (mixture of switches and routers) with no problem at all.
A while later when I tried to run the same job again I got this message from all my devices.
x.x.x.x (x.x.x.x):
ERROR: Connection Refused by x.x.x.x
Now please bear in mind that all devices make use of the global default login credential setting with ssh version 2.
My testing thus far:
1. Confirm and reconfirm login credentials under SettingsNCM -> Settings -> Global Device Defaults
Test config down load - failed
2. Under manage nodes pick one device that I knew was working and edit its login credentials to the same as the credentials in global device default.
Test config down load - it worked
2.1 revert changes back
3. run NCM Configuration Manager wizard again and rebooted the server
Test config down load - failed
4. Here is my login trace for the failed download job.

Please note that login to ALL device is failing no changes have been made to device and the backups did work earlier on.
Any idea's?
