The F5 Monitoring Service Data Source Singleton Error

Hi Julian,

 

 

Ran the Show Running Rules and Monitors for this Health Service task against the designated F% Management Server but the task failed with the following error:

 

 

"Task execution error Error Code: -2130771883 (Unknown error (0x80ff0055))."

 

 

When I tried running the same task against another Management Server that is used primarily for Windows Agent monitoring the task completed successfully and I can see a list of running Rules and Monitors so it looks like the Health Service on the F5 deisgnated Management Server is not behaving correctly.

 

 

By way of context I should mention that the F5 Managament Server is also used for SNMP Network Device monitoring and Web Application monitoring workflows. While there are quite a number of these I do not see the processor or memory utilization on this Management Server as being overly busy.

 

 

I also compared what account is being used\by the System Center Management (SCOM) service on both Management Servers and they are identical so all things being equal I don't think it is a question of the System Center Management Service on the F5 Management Server having been configured with the incorrect logon credentials.

 

 

I suspect that rebuilding the Health Service Store for the F5 Management Server by stopping the System Center Management Server service, then renaming the Health Service Store folder in the SCOM installation directory and restarting the service thereby rebuilding the entire Health Service Store contents may correct the issue but that is not something I would do lightly unless absolutely necessary and I would need to obtain proper change approval for the outage to monitoring that it necesiitates.

 

 

I will also try and search online for any hints as to what the above error code might mean and if I get nowehere will submit a support case with MS Support to address the issue with the failing Health Service Task but in the meantime if you have any other diagnostic suggestions I would be grateful for them.

 

 

Thanks again for your assistance.
