New Cluster --> Existing Federation --> how do you register the new cluster with Infosight

[sclementi]

The new cluster can communicate with Infosight, but the plug-in reports it is not registered.

The new cluster does not show in Infosight.

Do I need to unregister and reregister the whole environment? or is the a dsv or svt command to force it to register?

Yes you need to unregister and reregister the entire environment through the plugin.

I've had to do this a couple times to get new clusters showing in Infosight.

Hi, 
You don't have to unregister any of the nodes, you can register the new nodes by executing one command on each of the new OVCs.

Assuming your cluster is able to connect to InfoSight and midways over port 443, you need to SSH to each of the unregistered node's OVC and follow below steps:

Log in to InfoSight with an existing account, in Settings, select Device Enrollment. In the HPE SimpliVity tab, copy the claim token by clicking "Copy to clipboard".

Go to SSH session of the OVC and run command: svt-portal-token-capture --token <paste copied token>

Once it is successful, repeat running the same command on all of the new OVCs, you don't have to generate new tokens if running commands on OVCs in a short duration.
Once registered via CLI, nodes may take upto 5 min to 1 day to appear in InfoSight dashboard.

Please refer to this document for more information: https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/api/document/a00089726en_us?docLocale=en_US

Moreover, if you are on OmniStack 4.1.2 or higher, you can save iLO credentials as well using plug-in or cli to have AHS logs analyzed by InfoSight once per day if needed.

Hi, 
Please let me know if you were able to register the nodes.

@Aditya_A Thank you, though I should have checked back here before attempting the unregister, reregister.

While unregistering and reregistering seemed to have worked... (I can see the new hosts in Infosight now wityh limited info), I still cannot see the new datacenter and new cluster entities as of yet.

Does it take some time before that data is available?  I only did it today so I will check on it tomorrow.

Or is there something else I should do?

Hi,

Usually, it takes 1 hour to 1 day for new nodes' data to appear in InfoSight.
Please have a check again on the dashboard again once 24 hours have elapsed since registeration. If you are unable to view the new nodes in dashboard then I'd recommend opening a case to have a check.

While the solution provided by "bbelew" worked, it is more of a brute force type of solution.

I would have preferred to just register the new hardware individually, but I did not recheck this thread beforehand.  The process offered by "Aditya_A" looks to be the cleaner way to just add the hardware.

Either way, thank you both.  Both clusters, datacenters, and all hosts are now present within Infosight.
