Summary
You cannot add a SharePoint virtual node to your Enterprise. When you are logged into the server as a domain user, the DPX SharePoint installation requires a login authentication change in Cmagent. To resolve this issue, use the procedure below to make this change.
Symptoms
You re-scan a physical node after installing DPX. But, the SharePoint virtual node dialog box does not appear as expected.
Resolution
When you are logged into the server as a domain user, the DPX SharePoint installation requires a Cmagent login authentication change. You can now add the SharePoint virtual node to your DPX Enterprise.
Any out-of-box installation always requires you to edit the Cmagent services to change the login account to the domain account with the proper username and password. When you rescan a physical node after installing DPX and the SharePoint virtual node dialog box does not appear as expected, you must change Cmagent's login settings.
To change Cmagent's login settings:
- Open Service Manager and right-click Cmagent.
- Select Properties > Log On.
- Change the login procedure so it uses the domain account. Do not use the default Local System account. You must provide the appropriate username and password for the domain account.
- Restart Cmagent.
- Rescan the SharePoint node. The SharePoint virtual node dialog box displays.
- For SharePoint farms, even though only the first control node added prompts for the virtual node addition, repeat steps 1 through 5 for all other control and Microsoft SQL Server nodes in the farm.
