To manage a post-discovery action failure on an NE

Purpose

Perform this procedure to do the following:

  • reset the script execution status for an NE

  • manually run the post-discovery action script against the NE

This action may be required after the script associated with a post-discovery action fails and the cause of the failure is corrected.

Note: Clearing the status also clears the associated alarm that is raised when post-discovery script execution fails.

Steps
 

Choose Administration→Discovery Manager from the NFM-P main menu. The Discovery Manager form opens.


Click on the Managed State tab.


Select an NE with an Execution Status of Failed and click Properties. The Node Discovery Control (Edit) form opens.


Click on the Post Discovery tab.


Click Clear. The Script Execution Status changes from Failed to unspecified.


To execute the script:

  1. Click Execute Script. The Execute script form opens.

  2. Click Execute. The script executes, and a script object is displayed in the navigation tree of the form.

  3. Select the script object in the navigation tree.

  4. Expand the Status and Script Results panels on the right side of the form to reveal the script execution information.

  5. Click Save Result to save the result in the NFM-P database.


Close the forms, as required.
