Greetings, I know it's not ARS specific, but I thought I'd throw this one out there to see what experiences people might have with Citrix NetScaler discovery via ADDM.
I've been playing around with ADDM trying to cobble together various credentials from the server hoard, DBA knights, storage gurus, and network magicians but I've hit a snag when it comes to NetScalers. Specifically SDXs vs. VPXs. The ADDM docs say it can "discover dedicated hardware load balancers such as Application Delivery Controllers from F5 or Citrix (NetScaler), or the virtualized versions of these devices." That sounds to me like it should support SDX and VPX, but maybe I'm wrong. Does anyone have any expirience? I tried using an SNMPv2 cred to scan the SDXs and it cannot complete the getMACAddress method. (both the getDeviceInfo and getHostInfo complete fine). I then tried to scan a VPX with the above SNMPv2 cred as well and it fails completely. (SNMP timeout) My Citrix connection down the hall says he used all the same info, but it's failing (timing out)regardless. I reveiwed the MIB-OIDs being used in ADDM's script bank and they all seem to jive with Citrix documentation.
