Hello,
My NPM server is still trying to poll a device/node which was removed from node manager
many months ago. There is no mention of the device or its IP address anywhere in the node
manager.
I have even taken the drastic step to search for the device/IP address directly from with-in
the MS SQL mgmt studio. Neither the device name nor its IP address are mentioned anywhere
in any of the records in the DB. Yet for some reason Orion still keeps trying to poll the device.
I have installed SP5, started/restarted the services multiple times, rebooted the server multiple
times, ran the configuration wizard multiple times, compatced the DB, just about EVERYTHING.
However nothing seems to work. The device in question is a Cisco Wireless controller if that helps
any.
Since I can't seem to stop NPM from polling this device, I have resorted to firewalling the server
from accessing that IP address. This is the only way to stop the traffic.
