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 knowledge base:

•
To verify TCP/IP connectivity for SQL statement collections, Management Studio (SSMS) cannot be used as other protocols may be leveraged. Instead, verify connectivity using a UDL as detailed here: https://support.microsoft.com/kb/308075/.
•
To verify the WMI connectivity using a Microsoft Windows built-in utility, see https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc180684.aspx.
•
To troubleshoot WMI access permissions, see http://blogs.technet.com/b/askperf/archive/2007/08/14/wmi-troubleshooting-permissions.aspx.
•
For information about WMI connectivity from Windows Server 2003/Vista and later versions, see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa822854(VS.85).aspx.
•
For WMI troubleshooting tips and techniques, see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa394603(VS.85).aspx.
•
For PI troubleshooting tips: exclude the SQL PI repository directory (named Infobright™) from real-time scanning (for example, Antivirus software). For a virtual machine, the CPU and memory allocations must be reserved.
