Dual-Homed Poller giving "Main engine is accessible" check failure

rednarb

Friends,

We have two polling engines and one of them is dual-homed so that it has connectivity to a private network. In the Deployment Health this poller comes up with an error in the "Main engine is accessible" category because the "Main IP address is not accessible". Is there a way to convince the system that it's "main IP" is on the other NIC?

TIA,

Eric

@rednarb in scenarios like this you can adjust the metric on the nic that you want to be the main nic. Here's a thwack post that describes how to accomplish it
