Environment
NetIQ AppManager 6.x
NetIQ AppManager 7.0.x
Situation
A new Management Server has been added to the AppManager environment and must be registered to allow communication of data to and from the Repository.
Resolution
When a new Management Server is added to the AppManager environment, the server should be registered to allow communication with the repository.
Warning: When manually registering a Management Server, if you are using the -ur switch to preserve the RPCKey value for Encrypted Communication, you should use the -ur prior to the -i switch.
Example: C:\> netiqms -r QDBMS:QDB:Username:Password:SQLServerName -ur -i
Re-registering the MS using the format noted will disable the PIOC settings and UNIX port in the registry. To correct this you should do the following:
- Open Regedit
- Browse to HKLM\Software\NetIQ\AppManager\4.0\NetIQms\Config
- Edit the Persistent IOC key setting the value to 1
- Edit the PIOC Map File Path key setting it to the path of your PIOC files (typically C:\PROGRA~1\NetIQ\APPMAN~1\dat\pioc)
If you have UNIX agents perform the following additional steps:
- Browse to HKLM\Software\NetIQ\AppManager\4.0\NetIQms
- Edit the UNIX Port key
- Set the Base to Decimail
- Set the value to 9001 or other custom port numer you may have specified during AppManager installation
NetIQ is working on a fix for this registry issue.
Cause
