The F5 Monitoring Service Data Source Singleton Error

Hi Julian,

 

 

You are correct, no overrides or unsealed custom MPs have been defined for the F5 MP as yet.

 

 

Looking at the text of the Operations Manager Conncetor Error that I am seeing I don't think that simply upgrade the MP to fix this.:

 

 

"The PerformanceDataSourceConnector connection to Operations Manager Health Service host localhost was lost: Failed to write to an IPC Port: The pipe is being closed. "

 

 

It seems from this that the issue may be a firewall or a user role access issue.

 

 

To clarify, I have not configured any of the F5 Run As Acccount/Profiles in the SCOM USer Role view since we do not want to use the configuration options of the Management Pack integration at this time and configuring the F5 Big-IP Discovery Operator profile seems unneccessary when there are so few devices to discover that it is easy enough to just get one of the F5 Admins to enter their credentials when performing the discovery.

 

 

So, the apart from the initial credentials supplied by one of the device adminsat the time of the discovery no other account credentials are in play.

 

 

Which leaves network/port access to the IPC Port. I've confirmed that I can telnet to the iControl and IQuery ports from the Management server so if you are able to clarify what the IPC Port is (if not either of the above) as well as its port number I can try that one as well.

 

 

Regards,
