     Is there any way to lock any certain attribute in Spectrum . i:e In one of my device IP address will keep on change on daily basis and each and every time Ip address will update in model .i want to give a static IP in attribute and i want to lock it without updating . Any way we can do this ? Please suggest.

    Do you have IP redundancy turned on?  If so, turn it off, the IP shouldn’t change.

     

    Device_Type, Model_Class, Model_Name, and LockConnection are the only ones that can be locked:

     

    Lock_Device_Type

     

    0x12e84

     

    Boolean

     

    Lock_Model_Class

     

    0x12b4a

     

    Boolean

     

    Lock_Model_Name

     

    0x12a52

     

    Boolean

     

    LockConnection

     

    0x129f1

     

    Integer

     

     

    Cheers!

    Yes, for model name it will work, just be sure to set the Lock_Model_Name attribute to True.

    As that is part of an integration with UIM (device discovered from UIM) is probably the reason why its not sticking.

    Yes I think ,because during VM sync the models may get re-consolidated.

    I think your only option would be to change the name on the UIM side and during the next synch the name should change again on the Spectrum side.

    Just to add you can lock any and all attributes through Policy Manager.

     

    Policy Manager - CA Spectrum - 10.2 to 10.2.3 - CA Technologies Documentation
