[hobbit] Cisco switches

[Nikesh Maharaj]

Yip that's what I added in the bb-hosts:

 

192.168.18.72       szacttctasrv1.net.cen.tcta.co.za # DEVMON

 

then I ran /downloads /devmon/devmon -readbbhosts

 

[root at nms01 etc]# /downloads/devmon/devmon --readbbhosts

[08-01-17 at 12:42:35] Could not query device:
szacttctasrv1.net.cen.tcta.co.za

[root at nms01 etc]#

 

Also I don't see any devmon instances running if I run ps -ef | grep
devmon

As stated in the manual you have to put in a line in the bb-hosts file
like 

0.0.0.0     cisco_name    # DEVMON

	I can ping the switch by its ip address but not by name from
hobbit server and feel therefore

	That devmon -readbbhosts is having a problem resolving this. Do
I have to put in a name in the bb-hosts file ?

	I have a single node running with devmon, but I also have a
database.

cos the installation notes don't specify for a single node installation.
Am I incorrect ?

		
		As I understand it, the database is only required if you
have multiple systems running devmon.
