Hi Julian,
Apologies for not updating this topic.
I have had to focus on other operational tasks which have prevented me from dealing with this issue which is still not correct.
The only thing I can report is that the F5 monitoring service still is not able to make an IPC connection. The last time I tried to stop the SCOM Agent and start the F5 Montiroing service it appeared to work but then I realized that all the SNMP monitoring worfkows were no longer working on the management server as though the SNMP service was obstructed. The only reason I new this was happening is that I have some heartbeat type alerts against SNMP devices configured and these stopped after the last attempt at re-startiong the F5 Monitoring service so I am reluctant to keep trying to stop/start these unless there is a definite troubleshooting aim in doing so.
Could you please get in touch with me again to pick-up where we left off.
The way things stabd now, I fear that I may have to uninstall the F5 MP entirely and start from scratch possibly with a separate fresh Management Server that is perforing no other monitoring work in order to better compare what is happening. But even so, there are aspects of the installation/configuration procedure regarding the accounts required and access levels which are ambiguous in the documentation which I would appreciate having assistance with.
Kind Regards,
Michael
