background image

Entering a hostname in the network WINS setting causes a Windows customization to fail.

Issue

Possible cause

To resolve this issue, enter either an IP address or leave the network WINS setting blank.

Action

My resources do not show up in Insight Orchestration Unassigned Pool.

Issue

Resources are added to Insight Orchestration Unassigned Pool when Insight Orchestration
recognizes they are available in your system, licensed, and configured correctly.

Possible cause

To display VM Hosts:

1.

In Insight Control virtual machine management, register the VM Host.

2.

In the Insight Orchestration console Servers tab, click the circling green arrows icon (to the
left of: Click to refresh server resources).

To display physical servers:

1.

In Systems Insight Manager VSE management menu, select Tools

Logical ServerRefresh

or wait 60 minutes (default; is configurable) for logical server management's auto-discovery.

2.

In the Insight Orchestration console Servers tab, click the circling green arrows icon (to the
left of: Click to refresh server resources).

Action

Servers “disappear” from server pools.

Issue

Communication problem with one of Insight Orchestration inventory providers (logical server
management or virtual machine management), or a provider service is stopped.

Possible cause

Insight Orchestration periodically retrieves servers (blades and virtual machine hosts) in the
managed environment to update the resources that are listed in the Insight Orchestration server
pools. The default polling interval is 60 minutes. When a resource does not appear in the inventory
for 2 polling intervals, Insight Orchestration will remove those resources from the server pool
assuming that the resources have been removed from the managed environment and so should
be removed from the Insight Orchestration server pool.

Restore the communication or restart the provider service. Then refresh Insight Dynamics by
using Systems Insight Manager, Tools

Logical ServersRefresh. Select Refresh of Virtual

Connect Resources or Refresh of Virtual Machine Resources as appropriate.

Alternatively, as a workaround, you can change the number of polling intervals before a server
is removed by changing the value of the server.keep.alive.rounds property in ..\Program
Files\HP\Insight Orchestration\conf\hpio.properties

.

Action

Create Request fails for my Published template.

Issue

Resources are unavailable

Possible cause

When a template is published it is validated by the Designer. However, if after publishing,
resources are removed from the system (software, networks) the template might become invalid
(due to lack of resources) and is not discovered by Insight Orchestration until it is revalidated,
and saved in Designer. Consequently when changing your environment configuration, be sure
to revalidate affected templates.

Action

Designer

Troubleshooting items addressed in this section:

After period of inactivity, my template appears available to edit, until I try to save the
template.

Special characters do not validate in Cost units field in Designer.

I can only assign a virtual IP address to the first network connected to the server group.

How do I troubleshoot communication failures?
