Installed Remote Hub with Static Route from Primary But Still Can't See Remote Hub in IM

Products

• DX Unified Infrastructure Management (Nimsoft / UIM)

Issue/Introduction

When prompted on the new hub for the name of the domain during installation, I enter the name of my primary domain, PrimHubVMDom.  Then after installation completes, I set up a static link to my new hub in the hub probe of the primary hub as shown here:

But I still can't see my new hub show up in my domain in Infrastructure Manager.



 

 

Environment

Installation for new hub on different subnet network that you need to specify the static hub on the name services on the primary hub probe.

Cause

Duplicate domain, one with upper case and other with lower case.

Resolution

From the View menu in Infrastructure Manager, choose Show All Domains.  It is possible that you have entered the value of your Domain with non-matching case as shown here:

Note the two values for domains:

PrimHubVMdom
PrimHubVMDom. 

Since domain names are case sensitive, by entering uppercase D in PrimHubVMDom, you now have two domains. 

To see both domains appear in the left navigation area of Infrastructure Manager, you may have to launch the hub GUI and from the Hubs tab perform an Alive Check by right clicking on the remote hub and choosing the Alive Check action.

To correct this situation, follow these steps:
 

1- Modify the hub.cfg on the secondary hub to use the correct domain name. 
Here, the changed version with PrimHubVMdom for the domain name is shown:

4. Restart the server on the secondary hub using the Nimsoft Service Controller.

 

Both of your hubs should now appear under the same domain in Infrastructure manager:
