Events for System

Events for System lists the events detected for system and used as symptoms for root-cause analysis. Unresponsive and DiscoveryError are exported to the Global Manager.

Table 1. Events for System

Event	Description
MightBeDown	Indicates that all of the system’s HostAccessPoints (IP interfaces) and HostServices (SNMPAgent) are not responding and that the system is logically near the root-cause problem. (For internal codebook correlation use only.)
Unresponsive	Indicates that all of the system’s HostAccessPoints (IP interfaces) and HostServices (SNMPAgent) are not responding.
DiscoveryError	Indicates that an error occurred while rediscovering the system.
DiscoveryInProgress	Indicates that discovering the system is in progress.

A DiscoveryError indicates that the discovery process did not rediscover a system. Any root-cause problem diagnosed by IP Availability Manager can explain a discovery error. For example, a DiscoveryError might result if a system is diagnosed as Down and is not, therefore, reachable during rediscovery.

A DiscoveryError is detected under the following conditions:

• SNMP request times out

• SNMPAgent encounters a loop

• System Down

• Qualified access address not found

• A previously discovered system fails authentication

  The condition is listed in the DiscoveryErrorInfo attribute of a DiscoveryError notification. The VMware Smart Assurance IP Management Suite Discovery Guide provides information about resolving DiscoveryErrors.

  Note:

  The Out of License event may also occur during discovery. This event stops the discovery process if more systems are discovered than are permitted with your VMware Smart Assurance volume licenses. The VMware Smart Assurance IP Management Suite Discovery Guide provides information about the effects of this event.
