SOI: NIM Connector does not start any more

Products

• CA Service Operations Insight (SOI)

Issue/Introduction

We had to install windows patches on all of our SOI servers today.

After installing the patches and starting the environment, the NIM connector does not start any more. A few seconds after starting the service for the NIM Connector, it is automatically stopped. 

 

Environment

Release : 4.2

Resolution

After the restart of the server, the SOI services have not automatically started (put them to manual before the restart). Therefore the system has occupied NIM Connector port 8005.
Following was found in stdout:

Reboot the server to release the port 8005
