Support - 

We are currently running ILMT 9.36.1 with Bigfix: 11.0.3.82 in our environment.

Our Bigfix infrastructure is setup with a Primary and Secondary servers.

Our Primary Bigfix is hot, and the Secondary is on standby for failover purposes.

When attempting to add the Secondary Bigfix as a new data source (for failover purposes), we are getting the below error message: "The BES database has already been configured"

Is it not possible to have 2 different data sources with the same database name?

Thank you,

Hello,

Is it not possible to have 2 different data sources with the same database name?
Correct, it's not possible...

Distributed Server Architecture (DSA) is not supported.
The architecture is not supported because ILMT can be connected only to one of the replicated servers at a time.
