Network Device Repository/Database to keep Inventory & other info

I need your help to find a solution/tool which can serve as network repository for our organization. This tool can be database of all network device including servers to keep Visio diagrams, change logs, specify location, escalations, primary and secondary contacts etc.
I have heard of Orion but I think it can’t hold Visio diagrams with devices. If you know any other tools that can do all that for me, it will be appreciated.

I've always used sharepoint for managing diagrams as it has built in version control. It handles document management very well.
If you were so inclined you could build your own database for device information in sharepoint also and link the devices to diagrams
Of course there is no one tool to manage all of your requirements. That's why I'll plug my own tool for configuration backups of your network devices.
See below or Cisco cafe forum on this site for more info.

Discovering Network Devices with SNMP not working

I have implemented SCOM 2012 SP1 CU5 on Server 2008 R2 with SQL 2008 R2 all installed on the same VM running side by side with SCOM 2007 R2 v 6.1.7221.0. I have almost fully decommissioned SCOM 2007 and all that remains on it is 2 network devices that
I cannot discover with SCOM 2012 using SNMP, no matter what I try. If I just use ICMP the discovery works. I have checked both the devices and SNMP is enabled and if I run this snmpwalk command on both devices I get a response;

The first device is a Marms UPS which has had its firmware upgraded, which was discovered using SNMP in SCOM 2007 and the second device is a Juniper SSG-140 Firewall, again this is discovered using SNMP in SCOM 2007.
I believe that I have setup SNMP correctly on SCOM 2012 because I have 28 other networks devices discovered using SNMP using an explicit discovery, some of these being newer Marms UPS's, emerson air conditioners, netapp SAN etc.
I have added any and all accepted community names in the SNMP service properties on SCOM 2012 and enabled accept SNMP packets from any host.
Does anyone have any information that they could forward to me or point in the right direction to troubleshoot this issue for eg run some snmp get commands and capture / filter traffic with wireshark, what do I look for? Any other logs to check besides the
obvious ones? Any known issues with SCOM 2012 SP1 and SNMP, should I upgrade to R2? It just seems that some network devices get discovered with ease and others do not and I am running out of ideas. Thank you all in advance.

Patrick, thank you for your reply.
Yes the snmpwalk command is run from the new SCOM 2012 server which has the discovery rule on it.
I don't have any pending network devices, its blank.
Could there be an issue with my discovery rule? I have noticed that each time I make a change to, for eg, the access mode and change this from ICMP to ICMP/SNMP, save it, run it, it doesn't seem to update the said network devices access mode's in network
devices, it just stays on ICMP. Do I have to manually remove the network devices which have been discovered before making any changes to the discovery rule and running it which I have done? They don't seem to appear in network devices pending management either?

Remove network device inventory from SCOM database

Hello Gurus
I have a quick question. I think one of the internal connectors in my SCOM environment has got deleted by mistake. As a result all the network devices that were being monitored previously has now disappeared. I believe because they were present in the database,
I can't discover them now. Is it possible somehow to list those network devices from the database, and then delete them, by using powershell and/or SQL.
Any help in this regard will be greatly appreciated.
Regards,

You can delete them by:
In the Discovery Rules option under the Administration Tab, you will be able to see all the network devices that are discovered. This shows the devices that are discovered and currently getting monitored in SCOM. You can select multiple devices and then
remove them.
Then Run in powershell Get-RemotelyManagedDevice to check that all Network devices deleted.
you can also check below link to remove/restore network device

I have multiple devices that have my iCloud E-mail, I want to disable the E-Mail on some of the devices but keep it on others, I do not have physical access to the ones I want to disable but I do have access to the devices I want to keep receiving mc

I have multiple devices that have my iCloud E-mail, I want to disable the E-Mail on some of the devices but keep it on others, I do not have physical access to the ones I want to disable but I do have access to the devices I want to keep receiving mail, can I do this with a simple password reset or will that still leave all devices enabled?

The simple way would be to uncheck 'Mail' in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud, but as you would need access to the devices in question to do that you will have to change your password, at http://appleid.apple.com. You will then need to sign out and back on all the devices you want to be able to receive mail, and it's important that you follow this procedure and note the warning:
Firstly, if you have 'Find My iPhone/iPad/iMac' enabled on any of your devices, turn it off.
Go to http://appleid.apple.com and click 'Manage your Apple ID'. Sign in with the current ID.
Where it says 'Password & Security' and gives your current ID email address, click 'edit'.
Enter your new password and click 'Save changes'.
Now you will need to go to each of your devices and sign out in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud - 'Sign out' on a Mac, 'Delete this account' on an iOS device (this will not delete the account from the server).
Then sign back in with your new ID. Your iCloud data will disappear from your devices when you sign out, but reappear when you sign back in.
I re-iterate: before you start, turn off 'Find My Mac' (or whatever) or you will need the services of Support.
The devices on which you have not changed the password will throw up continual error messages as they attempt to contact iCloud and fail.

Satelite A30 does not see any other network devices in WLan

I recently bought a Toshiba Wireless LAN Mini PCI Card, i've installed it and managed to get it to recognise my broadband but it does not see any other network devices. I was not supplied with any drivers or software to operate the card (I bought it from a proper dealer). Can you recommend downloads that would run this card?
I have a Satelite A30 laptop 1gb ram 60GB HDD.
Also large files sometimes stop transfering (hangs)when using my USB connection. The usb controller is using microsoft driver 5.1.2600.0 dated 1 june 2002.
Is this a driver problem?

Hi
If the WLan card is properly installed so you have only not configured you settings.
I dont know which devices in the broadband you mean but usually if you want to communicate or transfer files between notebooks through the WLan so all computers must be in the same domain or workgroup.
I cannot give you a proper answer but only a suggestion. I have red that sometimes a lower power could be responsible for such issue. Try to disable the option Power safe in the USB root hub properties in the device manager.

TS1559 Since upgrading my iPhone5 to the newest iOS (6.1.2) I can longer connect to WiFi. It sees the wireless network but will not connect.. Other devices in my home that weren't upgraded can connect just fine.

Since upgrading my iPhone5 to the newest iOS (6.1.2) I can longer connect to WiFi. It sees the wireless network but will not connect.. Other devices in my home that weren't upgraded can connect just fine.

I had the same problem. I did the reset networks on my iPhone & it did not work. My husband read somewhere that changing the channel on the router to manual & selecting the highest available channel number might help. I did that & it solved the problem. I have not had the problem since.

Home Hub 5 "Home Network - Devices" icons

Hi all,
I've been looking at the Home Network - Devices screen from the HH5 and wondered about the icons that it chooses. If you have a look at my network below, my SkyHD box seems to be identified as a games thingy and while my other half's iPhone 5 identifies as a smartphone, my iPhone 4S seems to identify as a tablet. I'm guessing that it doesn't make any difference at all, but I'm interested in how the HH5 is selecting the device icons.
Cheers,
Bill

How do you even get these icons! I'm still stuck with laptop icons. Anyone know?
Anyway, I think the way it chooses is through how it access the internet and what data it retrives. (e.g retrieving game data)
Maybe BT just keeps a database of which is which. But they may of made a mistake. Thats what I think.

LMS 4.2 Network Devices configuration requirement

I have install LMS 4.2 and nat ip to discover found WS-6513 but cannot polling inventory.
I serch for document about configuration on Network Devices such as switch, router, asa etc. to support LMS.
But I cannot find it, anyone have example configuration or document about this ?

Given that you have verified the SNMP RO community string and assuming you have a Supervisor 720 as noted in the compatibility matrix, you should be able to pull inventory.
As a next step I would check what is going on when you actually try to retrieve inventory.
Go into Device Center for your switch and select Tools > Packet Capture. Create a capture using the IP address of your switch and choose application SNMP (udp161). Give it adequate time, say 10 minutes (600 seconds). then go back into Device Center and choose Tools, Update Inventory. Once the Job Browser indicates the job is done )or failed), go back into the Packet Capture Window and examine the traffic captured (the jet file can be opened in Wireshark).
A successful Inventory update consists of a series of get and get-bulk requests and associated get responses from the managed device. If it's failing, there should be some response early on in one of the frames from the capture.

Temporarily dip ****.
And excluding the extremely high network traffic due to the many millions of users downloading the update a day or two after is was released, this is a problem with that swiss cheese for security garbage OS that is Windows only, which is the joke. An update that is now running on 1 in 3 compatible iDevices which is in the 10's of milllions is vaporware Einstein?
If I were your rep, I would tell you to **** off. Go get Windoze mobile devices.

Repository database based

Hi all,
are there any plans to introduce a database based repository instead of using XML.
Thanks in advance for the answer

But when my sr. dba type above line. she can state database with password prompt.
So are there some configuration or my computer account ( log into network system) setting issue?
How to fix it?
I think it is very useful when start a died database or instance down.
i use oracle 10gR2 and R4 in window 2003
Thanks
JimLooks to me as if your Sr. DBA has her os account as a member of the DBA group, and you don't. Have you asked your Sr. DBA why she can log on like this and you can't?
