Good afternoon (t)whackers
I have been building a test environment. The purpose of this environment is for the following objectives:
- To understand and implement a new solarwinds install.
- This includes a clustered instance of SQL
- To test the following applications:
- LEM
- Failover environment.
There are other things I know I need to include, but the late nights have taken their toll and my brain is cloudy today. But to surmise, I want to know how to install and implement a new solarwinds server because of the following (I am also seeking advice on this, so any advice would be appreciated.)
- We have about 2000 + vms/physical servers on a single server with solarwinds installed. (windows 2k8, 12gb ram NPM 11.5) I want to install 12 and start a fresh. Now, in my unbiased opinion, that are some things which are really good about it, but there are other things that are really bad. This is why I am unsure if it is feasible to either start again, or migrate all of the data.
- The SQL is on a separate server (windows 2k8, 8gb RAM)
- We use the following Orion applications:
- SAM
- WPM
- IPAM
- IVIM
- DPA
- NTA
When I try to add a node in my solarwinds test environment I am met with the follow error (please see picture) so, I am wondering what I am doing wrong. It is fine in the old, live environment, but in the test it fails on the validation. I know it's not the community string as they were copied.
It is either an issue with adding the node to two solarwinds, or something that I did in the config.
Any help would be appreciated.
