Hi Lauritz,

we had a similar problem a short time ago, objects that only showed up in
collection, for example isNode = True. Display object information showed these
objects
having a reduced number of fields, especially the field IPAddress missed.
Therfore these objects had status unknown.

Our problem was solved by using a undocumented feature of the
ovwdbdmap  command:

ovwdbdmap -d <OID>

A short description is found in APAR IX64877

Hope that solves your problem
