Prime Infrastructure 2.0: Inventory Collection - Partial Collection Failure on 2 of 4 VSS WS-C6509-E

[bastianbrachner]

Hello,

I've got a strange behaviour regarding the inventory collection for 2 of 4 virtual switching systems.

That means the inventory collection for two VSS is succesfull (inventory collections status = Completed) for the other two systems it is not, see attachments.

The device credentials like SNMP-RW, SSH acces are OK. I've already tried to increase SNMP timout and retries as well as telnet/ssh timout without success

All 4 systems are identical regarding hardware model and software vesion.

HW: WS-C6509-E

SW: 12.2(33)SXJ3

Any ideas or suggestions?

Best regards,

Bastian

Symptom:

Inventory collection will fail if following keywords are used as part on description command on the interface config level of IOS device: 1Gbps, 10Mbps etc.

Following error message is visible on the DWC:

Conditions:

Speed keywords like 1Gbps, 10Mbps etc. available as part of descrption command in IOS interface level.

For example:

interface FastEthernet0/3

description 10Mbps

Workaround:

Use a space character between number and unit keyword, like 1 Gbps.
