During migration from old NAV (3.5.6) to new NAV (3.9.1) I "Bulk import"-ed
all our hosts. I notice that ipdevpoll does not set correct sysname on hosts
that does not run a configured snmpd.
nav=> select * from netbox where ip='129.242.5.142';
netboxid | ip | roomid | typeid | deviceid | sysname | catid
----------+---------------+--------+--------+----------+---------------+-------
1100 | 129.242.5.142 | ma | | 87934 | 129.242.5.142 | SRV
This means I now have several hundred boxes (mostly windows servers, virtual
IPs and misc "stuff") lacking a proper sysname, even though they are
registered i DNS.
ipdevpoll.log:
2011-08-31 10:07:02,584 [WARNING plugins.dnsname.dnsname] [inventory
129.242.5.142] Box dnsname has changed from u'129.242.5.142' to
'radius1.uit.no'
2011-08-31 10:07:36,612 [ERROR jobs.jobhandler] [inventory 129.242.5.142] Job
'inventory' for 129.242.5.142 aborted: SNMP request timed out
If I edit the host via the Seed DB web interface the correct sysname is saved:
nav=> select * from netbox where ip='129.242.5.142';
netboxid | ip | roomid | typeid | deviceid | sysname |
catid
----------+---------------+--------+--------+----------+----------------+------

1100 | 129.242.5.142 | ma | | 87934 | radius1.uit.no | SRV
I presume this is a bug.
