Ciscoworks V2.6 Device discovery stopped

[Bernard Steadman]

Hello all.

I'm running CW2.6 which was upgraded from 2.5, and had a license change from restricted to unresticted on 10 Sept. Recently (3 Oct), Campus (ver 4.0.6) has stopped doing a device discovery at either its scheduled time, or on demand.

Any sugestions on how to get it going again please.

Thanks

I've tried stopping crmdmgtd, renaming DeviceDiscovery.Properties.orig to DeviceDiscovery.Properties, change the file path within the file, and restart crmdmgtd.

It now notifies campus to start a discovery, but immediatley shows as idle.

Any suggestions please.

Thanks

Bernie

Have a look at these threads:

Thanks yjdabear.

I've attached the discovery log if this helps.

To add to this, the process status report shows this

To add to yjdabear's reply, your DEVICESROOT property in DeviceDiscovery.properties is:

C:\PROGRA~1\CSCOpx\campus\lib\classpath

This needs to be a valid directory with correct contents. Check to make sure this directory exists (i.e. that C:\PROGRA~1\CSCOpx is your true NMSROOT), and check the permissions. casuser or casusers must have full control.

Your discovery.log looks identical to the one posted here, which still points to a corrupt DeviceDiscovery.properties file:

Thank you both for your time and pactience.

It worked on the 5th attempt on copying/renaming the DeviceDiscovery.properties file

For reference, I used DEVICESROOT=C:\\PROGRA~1\\CSCOpx\\campus\\lib\\classpath

Love to know what corrupted the file as no changes were made to the system near the 3rd Oct.
