Hi, I have had this issue a few times now with my management server. I have had a couple unfortunate hw issues that have caused the machine to crash (have replaced motherboard, backplane and network cards…. don’t ask). Upon restoring the machine there is a new entry in the mshost table. However the host table mgmt_server_id still references the old mshost.msid and therefore my management server is unable to “manage” the hosts.
The only way to fix this is to : update host set mgmt_server_id=<new msid> where mgmt_server_id=<old msid>; Anyone else run across this? Is there a proper way to restore a management server? How does the management server decide it is a new mshost and create a new entry in the mshost table? Currently my mshost table has 5 entries and they all claim to be in the “Up” state even though there is only 1 management server. One of the entries is for the original 4.5.1 install. The other 4 are for the current 4.5.2.1 upgrade. They all have the same IP address. thanks, Carlos
