Server Status Changes to Unknown after Status Polling

I have Dell OpenManage Essentials 1.2.0.3441 installed on my monitoring host and OpenManage Adminstrator 7.3.0 installed on the hosts I am monitoring.  In this domain I have 20 servers being monitored.  Everything is normally working fine and discovery/inventory works great.  I am getting SNMP traffic between the hosts and the monitor server and I am receiving the SNMP traps on the monitor server.

The problem I am having is after a status poll about 5 of the servers will have their status change to unknown.  After inventory the status was reflected correctly.  It seems to be the same 5 or so servers I have trouble with.  I double check SNMP connectivity using the troubleshooting tool and everything is fine.  If I refresh inventory on those servers then the status will come back normally.  However, after the next status poll it reverts back to unknown again.

Any assistance that could be provided would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Chad and thanks for the post.

    Take a look at the suggestions from Raj in the below post and report back.

    Are the 5 servers on a LAN or WAN?  And let me know the ping results as mentioned by Raj.

    Thx!

    Hi Tony,

    As Rob mentioned, can you try the suggestions by Raj at en.community.dell.com/.../20394697.aspx. Let us know if it helps.

    Also please confirm the OME version you are using.

    For how many servers is this happening for you? Is it a specific subnet in the range?

    I got the same problem in OME. After the scheduled status polling, all servers status became Unknown Status with gray icon.

    Hi Pupul,

    I have tried the artical from Raj, it is not working for me. The ping is OK for every server.

    My OME version is 1.2 which is a fresh installation. We have ten servers within our local network.

    Our network's subnet mask is 255.255.254.0. So our discover range is 192.168.0-1.* mask 255.255.254.0

    Thanks for your help!

    Tony

    Thanks Rob.  I do not see the EssentialsVersion.exe file mentioned but there is a OMEVersion.xml file and the contents are below.  The ping results for one of the affected servers are all <1ms.  My ICMP setting is 5 second timeout with 4 retries.  All of these servers are on a LAN and the same subnet.  They are actually all sitting next to each other in a cabinet, these servers are not going through a firewall.

    Tony,

    Just a few more questions, sorry if duplicates?

    Are all servers on a LAN?

    You said ping is ok, but didn't mention the round trip response time....that's what I'm interested in.

    thx!

    Hey Tony, can you post this in a new thread.  I have some ideas, but want to keep this one on the unknown status so we can sort it out for you guys.

    thx

    Chad.

    Thanks for the detail.  I think we're going to need to work on this via a support ticket.  We'll need more info from you to try and root cause.  Can you open a ticket at 800-945-3355 ?

    Thanks,

    Rob

    The ICMP timeout is set to 5 seconds (5000 ms).  The round trip ping times to the servers all come back as <1ms.
