Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting

This section provides a list of references which address the most commonly faced issues relating to remote connectivity, allowing for easy troubleshooting using the vendor's information knowledgebase or Foglight documentation:

Troubleshooting Foglight for PowerVM

Symptom:

When Foglight Management Server is upgraded from version 5.7.5.x to 5.7.5.3, the server reports the error "Object being merged of type PowerVMVirtualManager has incomplete identity: PowerVMVirtualManager.host". The PowerVMVirtualManager and PowerVMVirtualCenter are not submitted successfully, and the UI does not display the data for the HMC domain.

Resolution:

Use the following commands to edit the PowerVMVirtualManager:

def topSrv = server.TopologyService;

def type = topSrv.getType("PowerVMVirtualManager");

tmp = topSrv.beginUpdate(type);

tmp.removeProperty("host");

topSrv.endUpdate(tmp);

 


Product licensing

Product licensing

Foglight includes a licensing capability that restricts access to those features that are defined in the license. All Management Server installations require a license that grants access to server-specific parts of the browser interface and the features associated with them.

Foglight for Infrastructure is covered by the base Foglight license.

To activate a trial or a purchased commercial license:

  1. On the navigation panel, under Dashboards, click Administration > Setup > Manage Licenses.
  2. Click Install.
  3. In the Install License dialog box, click Browse.
  4. In the file browser that appears, specify the location of the license file.
  5. In the Install License dialog box, click Install License.
