System and object names must be unique
System and object names must be unique in Systems Insight Manager.
For example, the name of a Virtual Connect Domain must not be identical to the name of a Virtual Connect
Switch, or they can be confused in Systems Insight Manager. The Virtual Connect Domain is a virtual system
with no physical network address. The Virtual Connect Switch is a physical system that is network addressable.
Setting the Primary DNS Suffix for the CMS
IMPORTANT: If the Windows server you are installing Systems Insight Manager onto is a multi-homed
system serving up multiple IP addresses across multiple domains, then it is important that the server has the
primary DNS suffix defined for the system. The primary DNS suffix must be displayed in the System Properties
as part of the Full computer name for the server.
In Windows:
Procedure 2-1 Setting the Primary DNS suffix of the CMS BEFORE installation
1. From the Windows Control Panel, click System. The System Properties window appears.
2. Select the Computer Name tab. The Computer Name window appears.
3. Click More. The DNS Suffix and NetBIOS Computer Name window appears.
4. Enter the primary DNS suffix name in the Primary DNS suffix of this computer field.
5. Continue clicking OK until you return to the Control Panel.
To fix the issue AFTER Systems Insight Manager installation, complete the following:
Procedure 2-2 Deleting duplicate CMS AFTER installation
1. From the command line, run ipconfig/flushdns.
2. In the Systems Insight Manager UI, on the system view page, select the duplicate CMS system you want
to remove.
