Issue/Introduction

Getting a failure when trying to enable Spectrum as data source.

Cause

there are 2 causes here:

spectrum was previously added as a data source and then improperly removed.

also, we see this error in the DM wrapper.log:

this is caused by communication failure.

Environment

Spectrum 10.2.3

Resolution

added a host file entry on the capc host for the spectrum host.

removed the spectrum data source, did a synch all, waited until the data source was gone from the ds view.

added spectrum in as a new data source.
