Configuring Lookup Services
iControl uses a lookup service for discovery over a network (
click HERE). By default, each iControl Application Server runs a lookup service that registers and makes available information about the devices on its network. It will also register with all lookup services that are running on other Application Servers on the same subnet.
If you have multiple Applications Servers and/or multiple subnets in your iControl network, you will need to configure these lookup services.
