Resolving a failure to find a MID Server for IP address
Problem
Service Mapping does not find a MID Server, which matches the parameters used for selecting MID Servers for a discovery job.
Service Mapping applies the MID Server selection algorithm that finds the MID Server to carry out the discovery.
The configuration of the MID Server must answer the following necessary criteria:
- IP range: this range must contain the IP address of the CI you are discovering
- Capability:
- SSH for Unix hosts
- WMI for Windows hosts
- SNMP for load balancers
- Supported Application: Service Mapping or All
For more information, refer to MID Server Configuration for Service Mapping.
SymptomsThe business service map displays the warning icon instead of the load balancer CI.
The following error message is displayed: No active MID Server found for IP X.X.X.X.
