Decommissioned Devices

Important:The product name for this user guide has changed from Foundation and Cloudscape to Business Service Discovery and Migration Planning. Previous UI pages known as Foundation have changed to Business Service Discovery. Previous UI pages known as CloudScape have changed to Migration Planning.

Devices that are suspected to no longer exist in the IT environment are marked with the RISCdecom flag in the hostname and primary IP address fields. For example, a device with the hostname test-app-01 would be displayed as:

RISCdecom - test-app-01

This flag is applied when a rescan of the environment with the View Inventory Changes feature enabled fails to communicate with a device that was successfully brought into the Asset inventory on a previous scan. Any error received when connecting to the device other than a “permission denied” error will trigger this behavior. The flag can be removed from the device if a subsequent rescan succeeds in communicating with the device.

For instance, if a firewall change results in an inability for the RN150 Virtual Appliance to communicate with a subnet, devices within that subnet will be flagged as RISCdecom when rescanned. A subsequent rescan after correcting the firewall configuration will remove the flag from those devices.
