Issue/Introduction

This caused issues with the integration of Spectrum and CAUIM - fields were not populating as expected between the two products, which led to other issues with alarm management, device display, etc.

Error in discovery_server.log.5:

Environment

Release:
Component: UIMDSC

Resolution

The above error led us to increase the max java size for the discovery_server (via raw config), which resolved the issue.

After changing the memory level and restarting the probe, the discovery queues had to drain and correlate the information.

Once these cleared up, the issues was resolved and the hosts were accurately shown/saved.
