Changing the IP Address of an ICMP device. Never returns status until delete and add

We are having to renumber some of our subnets.  I have a few devices monitored by ICMP on.  After changing the address of them, they never change state again until I delete and add them again.  At first I thought it might be DNS so I cleared the cache, but no change.  Am I doing something wrong here?

  • What Orion Version you have  ? Are you getting the historical data after changing the Node ip ? 

  • No historical information.  Currently the status is unknown.  I can ping the device from the command line.

  • Oop.  Forgot the version NPM 10.1.1 SP1.

  • I'm getting similar things with interfaces on nodes that have had the IP changed, interfaces don't poll properly until I deleted and re-added the node.  Using 10.1.2 (latest I know of) right now.

  • - Upgrade to 10.1.2 NPM

    - Must reboot Orion server once upgraded. 

    - Must complete the Baseline after an upgrade 

    If you still have the issue please do the following. 

    REPLACE JOB ENGINE
    1. Stop all Orion services from Orion Service Manager.
    2. Go to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\SolarWinds\JobEngineV2\Data\JobEngine35.sdf file and rename it to JobEngine35_OLD.sdf
    3. Then create a copy of C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\SolarWinds\JobEngineV2\Data\JobEngine35 - Blank.sdf one and rename it to JobEngine35.sdf.
    4. This way you have the old one to revert back to and you always have a blank copy in case issue reoccurs.
