secondary hub is not seen after installation

[pivst01]

Hi All,

 

what could be the reason if i installed a sec hub and it cant be seen either in Infrustructure manager nor in Admin console.

 

the installation output was:

 

Starting NimBUS:

Waiting for Hub to start...

Are you setting up a Tunnel between this Hub and another Hub?
==>[no]

Would you like to initialize the security settings on this Hub (WARNING: This will have widespread consequences as it will reset security for the entire domain)?
==>[no]
Cleaning up temporary files
Finished Robot installation!

 

the hub is up:

root 3260 1 0 14:07 ? 00:00:00 ./nimbus /opt/nimsoft
root 3262 3260 0 14:07 ? 00:00:00 nimbus(controller)
root 3263 3262 0 14:07 ? 00:00:00 nimbus(hub)
root 3294 3262 0 14:07 ? 00:00:00 nimbus(distsrv)
root 3295 3262 0 14:07 ? 00:00:00 nimbus(hdb)

 

and the ports 48000-48002 are  reachable from the primary hub (via telnet).

 

i noticed these log entries, but i didnt congfigure SSL on the primary hub, so im not sure, whether it;s related:

any tip/suggestion is appreciated!

thank you, stefan

Hi,

Add the following to the robot.cfg and hub.cfg in the setup section

loglevel = 3

logsize = 35000

 

and restart the robot watcher service this will give you more details.

Check the hosts file make sure the first line is the valid IPV4 entry for the machine and not the 127.0.0.1 entry

For linux I always set the first_probe_port = 48000 in the robot.cfg

 

also check the domain name check for spelling and capitalization in robot.cfg and hub.cfg as if this is not exact

as the other systems they will not show.

 

last if there is no tunnel in the primary go into the hub GUI and on the name service tab add a static entry for the new hub.

Hi Gene,

 

thank you for your suggestions! adding the secondary hub as static hub in the name service tab helped.

however, i would be curious what could cause this behaviour. as after installing the ppm probe i have another issue, so i think both of them could be network related. 

it's a test server with dnsmasq service and i put the loopback IP address on the second place after the eth IP address (as you suggested on the first place) in the /etc/hosts file. it's centos 6.5 and UIM 8.5.1.

do you have any idea/tips for it's rootcause or idea how to figure it out?

thank you, stefan

[Gene Howard]

So could be one of a couple of things off the top of my head

1) the robot was binding to IP address 127.0.0.1

2) the hubs are not on the same broad cast network as by default hubs use network broadcast to find each other

3) the hubs had the broadcast disabled in the hub setup.

 

Glad to hear you were able to get the hub to show.

make sure your firewall is allowing ALL traffic between the hubs since you are not using a tunnel.

I would make sure you have a range such as 48000-48200 setup bidirectionally.

[Britta Hoffner]

Hello Stefan, in case you still have a problem after you checked the suggestion from Gene please raise a case with support.

 

Kind regards,

Britta Hoffner

[Daniel Blanco]

During the install did it detect the existing UIM Domain name? If not then it won't know about it and report in.

If you open your existing pri-hub and add a named service entry defining this new 2nd hub that might help.

Also what I usually do is stop the services on the new hubs, then remove all the security.* files and then start up services so that it pulls down the correct security cfg from pri-hub. 

[Garin Walsh]

Did you note the typo in the port?

 

Port value out of range: 480099

 

Ports range from 0 to 65535 in value and so your six digit port is outside the valid range.
