Chapter3 Managing ITP Networks Using SGM
Working with Nodes
Step4 Click Poll Node. SGM begins a poll of the selected nodes. During polling, the
Poll Node button is grayed-out, the “Selected nodes are being polled” message is
displayed at the bottom of the Discovery Dialog, and individual nodes might
display the Polling status.
•If the node has only one IP address for SGM to poll, and the poll fails or times
out, SGM issues an error message.
•If the node has more than one IP address for SGM to poll, and the polls of one
or more IP addresses fail or time out, SGM issues warning messages. If all
polls fail or time out, SGM issues an error message.
Step5 When the “Selected nodes are being polled” message disappears and no nodes are
in Polling status, polling is complete. The SGM database immediately reflects
any new or changed data for the selected nodes.
To poll one or more nodes, retaining all currently known linksets in the SGM
database, use one of the following procedures:
•Select one or more nodes in a window, then select Edit > Poll Nodes >
Normal Poll in the SGM Main Menu. SGM polls all selected ITP nodes.
•Select one or more linksets in a window, then select Edit > Poll Nodes >
Normal Poll in the SGM Main Menu. SGM polls all primary and adjacent
ITP nodes associated with the selected linksets.
•Select an ITP node or adjacent node in the Details Window, then select Edit
> Poll Nodes > Normal Poll in the SGM Main Menu. SGM polls that node.
•Select a linkset or link in the Details Window, then select Edit > Poll Nodes
> Normal Poll in the SGM Main Menu. SGM polls the ITP node and adjacent
node associated with the linkset or link.
•Right-click an ITP node in a window, then select Poll Node > Normal Poll
in the right-click menu. SGM polls the node.
Normal Poll retains all linksets associated with polled nodes, even linksets that
have been deleted and are therefore in Unknown status.
