Intermittent authentication errors and out of scope devices logged
We had an issue with OME so I did the following to "shake the etch a sketch" and start over:
-Deleted all discovery ranges (caused all devices to appear to purge from the list of devices)
-Uninstalled OME. Told it not to keep the data.
-Checked SQL and database appeared to be gone.
-Reinstalled and setup only part of the discovery ranges (only the 192.168 networks)
Now I am getting the two following issues:
-repeated random (snmp) "authentication failed" errors on various server but I am not using SNMP to manage them. I'm using WMI. I started using SNMP ("windows server with OMSA" option) but it wouldnt work properly so I switched to WMI.
-alerts from systems outside of the discovery scope (172.x servers)
One server, listed as 172.16.1.33 does not appear anywhere within my inventory yet I am seeing disk array alerts from it .

Hi, thanks for the query.
1. Since you are not using SNMP for discovery, there is no reason for receiving authentication failure traps. Is it possible that there is another console managing those devices and OME is still the trap receiver for them? Also, double check the SNMP protocol configuration does not show up in discovery range configuration when you edit the same.
2. OME will process and display all alerts that have been received by it, even from undiscovered devices. If you don't want alerts from such device, select "Ignore All Alerts from Device" option from alert's context menu.
Hope this helps!
