Error description

  • Can recreate locally with some devices in the lab. With the
    customer data, since I know it happens with that particular
    device, I can do the following steps:
    
    1) In hop view, I searched for the node in the domain. Select
    this node.
    
    2) When the view shows up, I right clicked and chose to "Graph
    SNMP MIB Data". I go to the second tab, select any poll.
    
    3) When I select "OK" to graph the data, I receive the message:
    "The specified host cannot be found in the NCIM database. Please
    choose another."

Problem conclusion

  • This is caused when no interface record exists in
    scratchTopology with an m_IpAddress of the chassis
    (AccessAddress).
    
    This results in no entry for the chassis in the ipEndPoint table
    in ncim which is what produces the error in the MIB grapher.
    
    The fix is to check for chassis objects that have no
    corresponding interface records in CreateScratchTopology and tag
    them. A change to ModelNcimDb.cfg will create records in the
    ipEndPoint table for chassis that have been tagged
    

Temporary fix
