VmWare probe does not display vCenter in UMP

Products

• DX Unified Infrastructure Management (Nimsoft / UIM)

Issue/Introduction

• Devices discovered by a VMWare probe attached to a secondary HUB are not appearing on the UMP.
• There are no errors in the probe logs.
• Dr Nimbus does not see any probe_discovery messages from the probe on the primary HUB.

Cause

• Devices discovered by the vmware probe will only be displayed when the probe_discovery messages from the probe are received by the discovery server running on the primary hub.
• As the probe_discovery messages are not received, the discovery server cannot add the devices into the database.
• The probe_discovery messages are not reaching the primary hub because no queue has been setup to transfer the messages from the secondary hub to the primary hub
