I run some Cisco Nexus 93180s and 9336s and even the latest Spiceworks update, as of yesterday, still tags them as Linux servers and fails to capture configuration information. There are a couple of long-dead threads indicating this has been an issue for some years, but still no joy. Nexus is the predominant form of current Cisco devices, especially core networking, for a decade now, so I’m surprised this never got resolved. Certainly they are Linux devices, but it’s broken to just treat them as servers and throw uname -s errors about it.<\/p>\n
I’ve gone through a dead threads about this and tried the suggestions – ensure SSH creds have admin, all the way to blowing away the whole Spiceworks database and letting it rediscover everything. Nothing worked. This is probably more of a feature request than anything at this point.<\/p>","upvoteCount":7,"answerCount":6,"datePublished":"2019-12-18T17:04:20.000Z","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"spiceuser-kwy8u","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/spiceuser-kwy8u"},"acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"
Unfortunately, the on-prem release hasn’t been updated since March of 2018.<\/p>\n
You are on a product that has had no updates or patches for almost 2 years.
\nv.8 was placed on hold and no one realistically expects a new on-prem version (at least not in the near term).<\/p>\n
So, most evidence points to On-prem being a dead product (with only a possibility that it will be revived in the future) and cloud the only real path forward if you wish to use Spiceworks.
