I recently took a ciscoworks class through globalknowledge. It
was stressed repeatedly how important it is to make sure
your device attributes are correctly configured on your
devices. Additionally, having devices in forward/reverse
DNS with loopback interfaces on routers also seems to
improve discovery. Local host files are a way to statically
nail down your device list....
My personal experience leads me to believe it's best to
build your CM database in groups of devices using
filters. You mention you've done that. Ive had much
luck in narrowly picking a few devices and checking
on their success quickly thereafter. If one is broken,
I fix the device attributes on it or fix dns.
The class was worthwhile. I recommend it if you are having
problems with CW. I was at a boiling point with CW prior
to the class.

Does anyone else have so much problems with discoveries locking up as I
do? I have been trying for months trying to get this to work. Using
filters and etc. It might
complete a scan once but hardly ever more than twice. Is there some
trick that has
been discovered and how did you resolve?
