Challenge
No topology is created for standalone ESX/ESXi hosts.
nworks logs contain the following errors:
Cause
In DNS configuration, the host name contains uppercase letters.
Solution
To resolve the issue:
-
Make sure that the name of your host does not contain uppercase letters. Rename the host using lowercase letters if needed.
-
Check that in every place of DNS configuration (Configuration > DNS and Routing) you have lowercase letters, and that the Search Domain is not empty.
-
Remove connection to the host in the nworks Enterprise Manager (Connected VMware Servers tab > Remove Connection button).
-
Make sure that the registry on the Collector server does not contain data for the host. Remove the host folder if needed:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\nworks\VIC\Config\VIServers\ -
In the nworks Enterprise Manager, add connection to the host using lowercase letters.
