    Posted Tue August 01, 2023 08:48 AM

    Hi All,

    I am using ILMT v9.2.31 in Linux server (Azure cloud box). here we are managing 400 nodes using Ansible Automation method,

    When we generate the report in ILMT console for a server than below "Component name" and "Product name" is showing different value. 

    Screen shot attached for reference. 

    Thanks,

    Nagaraj.

    Hello,

    You'll need to reassign those discovered components to your licensed products. Check the following procedure:

    Thank you.

    Hi again,

    I have done some research about this behaviour and this is because the disconnected scanner has it's own signature and it is always bundled to ILMT (as there's no other relation for it). This has been already resolved within the latest disconnected scanner package - 9.2.32.0.

    Thank you.

    Hi Andrei,

    Thanks for your updates and we are using Disconnected scanner version 9.2.31 now. Which mean it is a bug from ILMT disconnected scanners right?

    The only way to upgrade the disconnected scanner to 9.2.32 to resolve it right?

    Thanks,

    Nagaraj.

    Hi Nagarajan,

    You're correct. The issue should be resolved by upgrading the disconnected scanner and running a new set of scans.

    Thanks.

    Thanks Andrei, I will try to upgrade the disconnected scan version from 9.2.31 to 9.2.32 and verify it.

    Hi Andrei,

    We have upgraded the ILMT v9.2.32 and scanner version too. But still, we are seeing different property value "product name" and "component name" in Inventory results.

    Do we have any other reason to get the correct result?

    Thanks,

    Nagarajan.

    Hi Nagarajan,

    Thanks for your update.

    Please change the initial association (bundling) if it does not reflect your actual environment, that is, the discovered components do not belong in fact to the automatically assigned products.

    Thank you.
