Environment

Release: Any
Component: SPCCSS - SpectroSERVER Core

Cause

The DBconv utility cannot convert an SNMP capable Model Type to a Pingable Model Type.

It does not handle the mismatch of common attributes.

As seen in the error, the converter was failing on the common attribute for SNMP Community String, which exists on all SNMP capable Models Types, but does not exist on the Pingable Model Type.

The utility is meant to convert one SNMP capable Model Type to a new/different SNMP capable Model Type.

Resolution

Delete the SNMP model and rediscover as a Pingable model.
