I know exactly what you just went through... I've done it twice now with two different 11.5.x systems. For me getting up to 12.1 NPM and moving the SQL Server database to new VM's was a little tricky... also like you said you have to do each module independently until you get to 12.0

I'm in the same boat as you... we aren't allowed phones, cameras, or any recording devices in my area at all.

Glad you made it through it... hopefully going forward with newer installers we'll be in better shape now.

Keep us posted about this. It's important to know what kind of support people are getting. Even my upgrade required a couple calls to SW Support to get through what I did. What really complicated things was having to move the database to new SQL Server and Orion to new Windows servers. 12.2 NPM won't install on Windows…

I'm really glad you got to the bottom of this wluther!

Looks a little cramped there... you don't site there do you?

Plenty of air duster and monitor wipes... I have those too... what's that your discharge papers from the Marines or something? The Haribo Happy Cola's are good! Unopened NIB Star Wars toys... that's pretty uber geek for sure. Oh those are the Star Wars Mr. Potato heads right?

Where you able to do this with only the 12.2 installer or did you have to do interim steps before it?

Very similar to my setup at work but I have a Herman Miller Ego on the left... yours looks like a Herman Miller Mirra nice! Nothing like a good chair! Investing in a Quality Programming Chair

Geesh that almost looks like your brought your laptop to a hoteling area or something o.O

That's really not that bad... I like the Monitor stands btw!

ur the man byron :}

Thanks Lukas can you or alterego comment on the netobject prefix AHS error above or have you seen this error before?

That's good news... we're running RC1 and have downloaded RC2 and will maybe install it this afternoon. I'll keep you posted. Another thing I noticed when I get alerts and click on some of the network devices like this: All Triggered Alerts All Unacknowledged Alerts TIME OF ALERTNETWORK DEVICECURRENT VALUEMESSAGE Advanced…

NCM should really have a way to break the stuck caching loop... I've been editing the database to free it but that's kinda a hack.

Thanks for the quick response Marie... you do a great job moderating a group like us :} and ur dog is pretty cool too. EDIT: njoylif's dog is also noteworthy :}

I'm going to try janene16 fix... that sounds like it will work finally. I was just a little upset that hf6 didn't fix it even thought that was listed as a fix.

Was there even any fix for this at all? I'm hoping there's some way to fix this as I have a lot of nodes in a LOT of groups!

Like my linux group right here... I can no longer click directly on the nodes inside the group and goto node detail for any of them in the group! This is driving me crazy. I just tried IE it's the exact same. This is crazy when I hover over the ones they don't change the text the way they normally used to and there is no…

Same thing happens if I do it either way. Can't get Volume Reappeared Record to go away. I may have to load SQL Studio or whatever it's called these days and see if it can make the change... I'd really prefer that Database Manager would work though.

Are you holding off on upgrading to 12.2 because you're on windows server 2008 R2? If not then I'd upgrade as it's easy once you're on newer server OS.

You might try also making sure all of the permissions are still correct for Orion... run the permissions checker exe inside your main Orion directory and see if everything still checks out for the app to run correctly.

I found an online copy of O'reilly Essential SNMP with chapter on Extensible SNMP agents including net-snmp, sytemEDGE, and the Openview agent: docstore.mik.ua/.../index.htm Here's the systemEDGE part: docstore.mik.ua/.../ch11_02.htm This probably won't help but I thought it was kinda interesting information :}

Also here's some of the built in Time Variables to help you: Date/Time Variable Description ${DateTime} Current date and time. (Windows control panel defined "Short Date" and "Short Time" format) ${Date} Current date. (Short Date format) ${LongDate} Current date. (Long Date format) ${MediumDate} Current date. (Medium Date…

Also in addition to goodzhere's always good information... to monitor vcenter you really don't do it with snmp anymore (unless you're using ESX 3.x or something)... NPM speaks the vmware api so you need to enter the vcenter creds into NPM so it can talk to vcenter... once that's done it will automatically pick up on all…

Make sure to goto Message Center untick everything but audit and make the time period longer... show security that. I think seeing the auditing will help ease some of their concerns. This with the normal windows security event logging and you'e got a great picture what's going on inside and outside Orion!

@acarnahan When you have multiple customers the problem you run into in a situation like this is that you may be monitoring multiple customers with overlapping address space. The keeps you from being able to use one NPM server to monitor them all. When $$$ permits best practice would be to have an NPM plus plugs for each…

Andy this sounds like the average and max will always be the same... if the one sample happens to be a maximum in relation to other samples. I guess what you are saying then is that it's not a "rolling" average. From the description this sounds like it's average of one point in time which will always be the same as the max…

yup it apears the Cisco WAE7371 is better than steelhead in that respect: www.networkworld.com/.../24295 www.bradreese.com/cisco-wae-riverbed-steelhead.pdf

Wow that's interesting to know... I wonder if anyone else is using W2K12 yet? I'm still using W2K8R2. The way you described with W2K8R2 is how it's supposed to go... I'm glad you got it going... why it didn't work on W2012 is a little bit of a concern because I thought it was supposed to work... perhaps it's your VM...…
