Hi, how do I manage elements in IDP that are already live on the system? I have refreshed the unmanaged inventory but the elements do not appear. For discovery, I have built several CI Types, scan ranges & discovery profiles but when I run them they discover elements already on my system. Is there a way to link a discovered element to an already live element or have IDP search for what's already on the system?
Edit: Looking into this, I've just realised that the elements I can't discover are all imported and have the original DMA ID, could this be blocking IDP from finding them automatically? One issue I have is that I have hundreds of resources already configured from these imported elements so if I change them for the discovered elements I will have to re-create all the resources and DCF links etc.
IDP 1.1.15-2116
Hi Ross,
It's working for me with IDP 1.1.14 by executing following steps:
- Create a CI Type and make sure that the correct protocol is configured in Provisioning > Element Details
- Navigate to Inventory > Unmanaged and click on the Refresh button. Your CI Type should be visible in column Detected CI Type.
- Selected your element and click on the Manage button.
Thanks Jens, I edited the question to add that the elements are imported. Do you think that could be causing the issue?
