Additional VM Manager Tool Not Appearing in ILMT UI

Product(s):

  • BigFix Platform (VM Manager Tool)

  • IBM License Metric Tool (ILMT)

Issue Description:
An additional VM Manager Tool was successfully deployed using the BigFix fixlet “Install additional VM Manager Tool (optional)” to a separate server. The installation completed successfully, and the BigFix Console now shows two VM Manager Tools (Central and the newly installed additional VM Manager), confirming that the tool is installed and reporting to BigFix via the relay infrastructure.

However, in the ILMT UI, when attempting to create a new VM Manager definition (VM Managers → New), the “VM manager tool location” drop‑down only shows:

  • Local

  • Central

The newly installed additional VM Manager Tool does not appear as a selectable location.

We run these fixlets multiple times. “Initiate forced VM Manager tools data collections”, “force vm manager tool scan results upload”. On the ILMT side, we’ve ran multiple imports and restarted the ILMT service.

What am I missing here?
