If the Probe Manageability tool is launched from a node level, the List of Nodes pane displays DNS name, IP address, or the Novell eDirectory name of the selected node. It also displays the status of the Probe Manageability operation. The status could be one of the following:
-
Not Started: Indicates that the Probe Manageability operation has not yet been performed on the node.
-
Completed: Indicates that the Probe Manageability operation has been successfully completed. If Probe Manageability is successful for a single node, then the list of implemented MIBs in it is shown in the Probe Manageability Log pane.
-
Failed: Indicates that the Probe Manageability operation has not been successfully completed.
Possible Causes:
(1) SNMP communication failure: The Probe Manageability Log pane displays the SNMP parameters for the node.
(2) Unable to find the node details in the database: The Probe Manageability Log pane displays the node not found in the database message.The complete mesages are logged in the file Novell_ConsoleOne_Directory\1.2\bin\Probe.log.
This log file contains the list of implemented and unimplemented MIBs and their OIDs for the nodes. It also contains the reason for failure in case probe manageability fails for a node.
