Have seen lots of
good suggestions, and perhaps you've found a solution already. If not,
here's one more thing to try. I've had trouble rediscovering routers at
times due to interface objects in the database preventing rediscovery. The
node is not in the database, but the interface objects are. I've had
luck locating the interface objects on the map by creating a smartset
of all the IP addresses that exist on the router, then deleting those
interfaces from all submaps, and then trying to rediscover the
router.

Check
first whether you are running on a read-write map, and try stopping and
restarting it first, letting ipmap synchronize with the data base.
If that doesn't do it, then I'd vote for
Ray's database cleanup commands and then a restart of the GUI because they
force ipmap to re-evaluate every object and symbol.
But I don't see much use in reset_ci
(sorry Ray). It's mainly for daemons, which have lost the ability to
communicate with each other because they don't know where they are. The
only map activity is to update the map location with mapadmin to guarantee
that it resides on the correct host.

If "/usr/OV/service/reset_ci" does not resolve the issue,
then you may have to perform a database cleanup...
We like to use the following commands:
ovmapcount -a
ovtopofix -a
Don't forget to backup your databases before
running the above commands.

What happens if you
search for the object by the "IP Address" "Attribute..".

I'm ahead of you... did that and it still isn't there, yet I can ping
the device and do a nmdemandpoll to it.

Bounce netmon and
search for it after netmon restarts.

We did and it said that no devices were found in the map.

Use the "Locate" menu
option and see if you can find the device that way on the Read/Write map... It
may have been placed automatically in a network segment on your map...

We deleted an ATM router from our all submaps and waited for it to
rediscover the device an place it in the holding area. We waited a good
hour and it still didn't show up. I did a nmdemandpoll on both the hub
router connected to the ATM circuit and the ATM router itself. Demand
poll did poll the device, but it still never showed up on the map. Do I
need to do a ovtopofix -u to get it to show up?
Thanks
