Discovery problem (incomplete discovery)

Pramod,

 

 

Thank you for the detailed feedback. I would try to troubleshoot this problem first without the proxy. I believe that you still have the same error condition with the proxy active, but somehow with the proxy you lose some transparency in the response you're getting from the F5 device.

 

 

The HTTP 401 Authorization Required error that you're getting without the proxy, makes me believe that you're not able to connect to the iControl interface on the F5 device. From a web browser (on your SCOM management server) try to connect to https://device-ip/iControl/iControlPortal.cgi. This should take you to the iControl web-service (WSDL) interface on the F5 device, and you should be prompted with basic authentication credentials. Pass in the exact credentials that you plan to use with discovery. Are you able to get to the iControl WSDL interface?

 

 

If you're not able to browse the iControl web-service interface (and you still get the HTTP authorization error), you'll have to make sure basic authentication is allowed with the F5 device. If you get through with connecting to the iControl web-service interface, the next step would be to check if you can telnet into the device's port 4353 (from the management server where you try to discover from). This would tell you if at least the firewall settings are OK for device inbound connections.

 

 

Let's try to make the discovery work first without the proxy. Let me know the results for the steps suggested above and we'll take it from here.

 

 

Thank you for your patience.
