Jeffrey,

 

A few things to consider:

 

*         Have you looked the MP_*.log (mp_hinv.log, I want to say) files in
the Management Point logs directly?

*         Have you examined the InventoryAgent.log on the clients?

*         Have you used archive_reports.sms to prevent the cached inventory
log from getting cleaned up on a client, so you can examine it?

Subject: [mssms] Post SP1 Upgrade question

 

About three weeks ago we installed SP1 to our CM2012 environment. And we did
not initially have the clients automatically upgrade and have been updating
them gradually. We now have about 10K running the new client version and
about 8K still running the older version. 

 

Now here is the issue. CM is not getting hardware information from any of
the new clients.  I am seeing this error in the status messages for the
SMS_MP_CONTROL_MANAGER.

 

We have not added any hardware classes to our inventory so any new classes
added would have been added by the SP1 upgrade. 

 

What am I missing here? I really need to get hardware inventory data flowing
again.

MP needs to reload the hardware inventory class mapping table when
processing Hardware inventory. The MP hardware inventory manager cannot find
a WMI class definition in the mapping table when processing a report. This
should only happen if new definitions beyond those known to the site are
added to the collected classes.    Possible cause: Inconsistent way the new
definitions have been introduced.  Solution: Check that the mapping tables
contain the information consistent with the hardware definition tables and
that the definitions have been propagated properly.  Possible cause:
Corruption of the data base.  Solution: Check the consistency of the data
base.
