6.5.1 Deleting unresponsive objects

You can control the deletion of the following unresponsive objects by specifying the number of days to wait after an object has become unresponsive:

• Unresponsive nodes

• Connections that are down

To delete unresponsive nodes, perform the following steps:

1. In the Configuration workspace, click Discovery, and then Discovery Configuration.

2. In the Delete Unresponsive Objects Control area, enter the numbers of days for the system to wait before deleting the applicable objects.

   A value of zero (0) indicates that no objects are to be deleted. After the specified waiting period, the unresponsive objects are deleted from the database.

Note

When Delete Unresponsive Nodes is enabled, NNMi does not delete virtual machine nodes under any of the following circumstances:

• The VM does not support an SNMP agent

• The VM does not have any IP addresses because VMware tools not installed

• The IP address fault monitoring for the VM is not configured

For more information, see the "Configure Whether to Delete Unresponsive Nodes" help topic in the Help for Administer.
