Maybe I am getting confused with the "pingable" statement.
CMDB is not pinging anything, Configuration Discovery does

Foundation discovery will ping something, but I have never seen an asset in
the down status due to the FD not reaching a host that it previously created
a CI for.
Ok - then when the status is "Down" - I read in the BMC documentation is
defined as "the CI is down, but not yet in maintenance." "Down" is not a
location that describes where the asset is at. It's a little confusing.
So the user is marking any server that is not pingable as down. But t
the cmdb assets are based on where they are at, not whether they are up?
monitoring is one side (Patrol, Ca-unicenter, Whatever) up / down and
overall status uptime etc.
Asset is different: ordered, recieved, being assembled, deployed, in-repair,
down, endof life, transferred, delete, in inventor
If a server was discovered and marked as "deployed" and then later is not
pingable - what status would you give this server?
