KBI 311153 Issue Addressed: Argent for VMware Relator/Rule Testing From Argent Global Manager Not Using vCenter Specified In Network Group

Version

Argent Advanced Technology 3.1A-1501-B and earlier

Date

Thursday, 15 Jan 2015

Summary

When Argent for VMware Engine runs VMware specific Rules, it connects to vCenter explicitly specified in Licensed Node Properties; if not specified, it uses vCenter specified in Network Group Properties ; if still not defined, it uses System Default vCenter defined in Supervising Engine settings

Though it works fine in Argent for VMware Win32 GUI, the vCenter defined Network Group Level is not used when customer test Relator/Rule in Argent Global Manager

In other words, if vCenter is not explicitly defined in Node level, the System Default vCenter is always used

The issue is addressed in Argent AT 3.1A-1501-C

Technical Background

It is a coding error in middle layer DLL

Resolution

Upgrade to Argent AT 3.1A-1501-C or later
