So in setting up my VoIP beta box I loaded NPM and the modules... then renamed the box. What seems to have happened is when I open the System Manager if asks which polling engine to connect to. How do I delete/remove the unused polling engine?
go into Advanced Features ->Monitor Polling Engines-> It will then ask you if you want to delete the extra poller-(you might need to move all nodes to one poller then it will give you the option of deleting)
Nope - the engine is stopped and doesn't prompt to delete it. I moved the nodes (two)...
Here is the screenshot - no prompt. I even turned all services off and it didn't prompt.
Here is the prompt I get with opening the System Manager.
Stop all the services and then go into the DB mgr.and open the Engines table. You can delete the WIN2k3_Orion directly-
Beauty... that worked. Does the engine ID matter - I noticed the the old one was (1) and the new one is (2). Thanks Mark.
Just verify that the NODES table reflect Engine ID 2-
