We are automating the install of litespeed to go along with our automated sql build/configuration process. One step I cannot find scripting information for is how to register the new instance with the central repository so it shows up in the list of registered servers in the GUI without having to manually add it there.
Any suggestions/solutions?
Hello Keith,
I have reproduce your issue.
Please follow these steps on the computer running the console that has this problem.
Please note this is an issue with the console running on that computer. Not an issue with the process of registering a SQL instance.
1. First place the console in "local" view and close it.
2 . Then navigate to the below location and delete any file with this format (No need to save the file. The Litespeed console will rebuild it)
EXAMPLE Location
C:\Users\<windows account>\AppData\Local\Quest Software\LiteSpeed
EXAMPLE FILE:
central_centralservername_LiteSpeedCentral.list
3. Review the below file also located in C:\Users\<windows account>\AppData\Local\Quest Software\LiteSpeed
LiteSpeedConsole.settings
At the bottom of the file should be a section like this.
(note that "profilemode" is set to local. It should be after step 1 above was completed. If not close the file and complete step one above before proceeding)
<ProfileMode>Local</ProfileMode>
<BackgroundProcessingPanelDock>Right</BackgroundProcessingPanelDock>
</Formyserver>
</Settings>
4. Reopen the Litespeed console and select "central" view.
The view should now be correct.
If you are not sure about following these steps. Please open a support case and bring these steps to the attention of your support rep. Feel free to drop my name as the person who suggested these steps.
Hope that helps,
