Infrastructure Management server cross-launch failed

Before you begin

To perform these procedures, you must have  Deployment Administrator-level Open link    privilege, or higher.

To add an Infrastructure Management Server

  1. In the TrueSight console, go to Administration > Components, select the action menu next to Components, and select Add Component.

  2. For the component type, select Infrastructure Management Server.

  3. Enter a valid Host Name in FQDN format.

    Notes

    • If you plan to install Infrastructure Management in the high availability or disaster recovery mode, ensure that you specify a common alias name for both the primary and secondary servers.
    • If the "Invalid Host Name or IP Address" message appears, re-enter a valid FQDN hostname. The name cannot start or end with a dash ( - ), contain any spaces, or exceed 63 characters.
    • Adding an IP address of the Infrastructure Management Server is no longer supported. With an IP address, the cross-launch to the Infrastructure Management Server from the TrueSight console fails. Therefore, you must edit the hostnames of all the Infrastructure Management Servers that were added in the past after you upgrade the TrueSight Presentation Server.
  4. Select an HTTP or HTTPS protocol.

  5. Accept the default port number (443), or enter a new value.

  6. Select any of the listed tenants.
    The list includes each tenant defined in the Remedy Single Sign-On system.

  7. Enter a value between 1 to 10 in minutes for the Component Initialization Timeout (min) period.
    This is the time period that the TrueSight Presentation Server tries to initialize a connection to the component. If the connection is not completed within the time period, the connection to the component will fail.

    Tip

    If the Infrastructure Management server contains a large number of groups, set the Component Initialization Timeout (min) period to 5 minutes. For more information, see Troubleshooting groups Open link .

  8. Clear the Propagate Events box to stop propagation of events from the Infrastructure Management server to the TrueSight Presentation Server.

    Note

    To enable propagation of events at a later time, delete the Infrastructure Management server and re-add it with the Propagate Events box checked.

  9. Click Save.

    Note

    If the Infrastructure Management Server is in high-availability mode, ensure that the configured cluster name and host names of the primary and secondary Infrastructure Management servers are resolved with the proper FQDN host name and reachable from the computer that hosts the TrueSight Presentation Server.

After adding the Infrastructure Management Server component

Perform the following steps on the TrueSight console after you add the Infrastructure Management Server component:

  • Expand Monitoring and Administration menus and verify the options are displayed as shown in the figure:
  • From Dashboards > Add Dashboard > Add Dashlets, you can see the Infrastructure Management Server dashlets listed as shown in the figure.

    • Each segment must not exceed 63 characters.
    • The name cannot be an IP address.

    Examples:

    (error) localhost is not a legal FQDN

    (error) bmc.com is not a legal FQDN

    (tick) hostname.bmc.com is a legal FQDN

  4. Accept the Port number (default value 8100), or enter a new value.
    In a high-availability environment, enter the port number of the load-balancing server.

  5. Select any of the listed tenants.
    The list includes each tenant defined in the Remedy Single Sign-On system, and each tenant can have only one App Visibility portal.

Note

When you delete a component whose status is not connected, the deletion fails and an error is displayed. Select the action menu  again and select Force Delete to ensure deletion.

Restart any component that you force delete before re-adding it.

When you force delete an TrueSight Infrastructure Management server, the TrueSight Presentation Server entry in the mcell.dir file of the Infrastructure Management server is not deleted. Manually delete the TrueSight Presentation Server entry and restart the Infrastructure Management server.

If you delete a tenant from the Remedy SSO, you must also delete any component configured to use that tenant.

If you delete an App Visibility portal, App Visibility retains all of its configurations and data, and continues to collect data. The  Execution Plans Open link for synthetic transactions continue to run as scheduled.

  • To stop Execution Plans from running, stop the App Visibility portal service. Open link  The TEA Agents will gradually stop all Execution Plans associated with the portal.
  • If you reconnect the portal to the same TrueSight Presentation Server, you will see all of your data as before.

Note

Do not connect the App Visibility portal to another TrueSight Presentation Server or associate the portal with a different tenant. Automatically generated applications are carried over, compromising data isolation, and manually created applications can show unexpected results or errors.
