Issue/Introduction

When running the Spectrum newMM.pl script after an upgrade, the following messages are seen. What do they mean?

- Ignoring Model 0x1f5d7ea2 (Not in specified list) 

- Ignoring Model 0x1f5d7ea1 (Not in specified list) 

- Ignoring Model 0x1f5d7ea0 (Not in specified list) 

 

 

Cause

These are not errors. These messages indicate the model does not meet the criteria in the script for conversion. 

Resolution

The script uses the sysObjectID of the device to determine if the model needs to be converted or not and which old model type "to" which new model type. For example, take the following example: 

- Ignoring Model 0x1f5d7ea2 (Not in specified list) 

If you look at the log file for all entries for the model at model handle 0x1f5d7ea2, you see the following: 

0x1f5d7ea2 USAXAALOSCALX01 0x11c001a SwCat35xx 

- Ignoring Model 0x1f5d7ea2 (Not in specified list) 

0x1f5d7ea2;0x11c001a;0x10053 sysObjectID 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.278 

 

The model at model handle 0x1f5d7ea2 is currently modeled using the SwCat35xx model type and has a sysObjectID of 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.278. This model was ignored for conversion. 

If we take a look at the NewMM.pl script, for the sysObjectID of 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.278, we see the following: 

["SwCat35xx", "0x11c001a", 0,0, "$sysObjectID", "1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.246 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.247 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.248 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.278 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.287 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.111", "", "1:1", "0x3d0002"] 

 

The important information in the above entry from the NewMM.pl script is as follows: 

1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.278 - The sysObjecyID of the model to be converted 

SwCat35xx - The model type to convert TO 

0x3d0002 - The model type to convert FROM 

 

From the log file, we see the model at model handle 0x1f5d7ea2 with a sysObjectID of 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.278 is already modeled using the SwCat35xx model type so the script ignores this model for conversion and logs the entry:

- Ignoring Model 0x1f5d7ea2 (Not in specified list)
