Summary
NNMi does not discover an ACI system properly if the device IP is specified in Specific Node Settings instead of its FQDN.
Error
The related stacktrace can be seen in the nnm-trace.log file, if the discovery module is set for FINEST.

Cause
NNMi will not discover an ACI device properly if its IP address is specified in the Specific Node Settings menu instead of its FQDN:

Fix
To re-seed the node correctly:
1. Delete the node from Inventory - Nodes
2. Delete the node from Discovery - Seeds
3. Make sure that the device FQDN is specified next to "Target Hostname" in the Specific Node Settings configuration page
4. Seed the device
