Reconnecting the IMS to a Resiliency Manager
You can use the web console to reconnect an Infrastructure Management Server (IMS) to a Resiliency Manager. The operation disconnects any existing connection and the IMS then reinitiates the connection. This operation can be useful when troubleshooting or repairing a connection between an IMS and a Resiliency Manager.
For example, say the connection between an IMS and the Resiliency Manager located in the same data center (data center A) fails. Another Resiliency Manager in the same resiliency domain is online in another data center (data center B). In such a case, the IMS can automatically connect itself to the Resiliency Manager in data center B.
However, once the issue with the first Resiliency Manager is fixed, the administrator may want to reconnect the IMS back with the first Resiliency Manager. The Reconnect operation will accomplish this as follows: If there is an existing connection, the Reconnect operation disconnects it. The IMS then reconnects to a Resiliency Manager in the resiliency domain based on priority. A Resiliency Manager in the same data center as the IMS has a higher priority than a Resiliency Manager in a different data center. Therefore, in the above scenario, the IMS reconnects to the Resiliency Manager in data center A.
To reconnect an IMS to a Resiliency Manager
- Navigate
Settings (menu bar) > Infrastructure > Details View
- Expand the data center, locate the IMS, and do the following:
Select the vertical ellipsis for the IMS > Reconnect.
