Symptoms:


Why are some Interfaces not populating Interface Groups in IP SMARTS?

Interface group not being picked up unless devices are removed and readded in SMARTS.
Why isn't my unmanaged interface going into <groups> in IP SMARTS?"

Environment

VMware Smart Assurance - SMARTS

Cause

The interface is unmanaged.

Resolution

<BASEDIR>/IP/smarts/bin/dmctl -s <IP server> invoke Interface::<Interfacename> getManagedState
