resource instances missing – how to investigate

I need to add additional router resource instances to a resource pool.
However the input I need to add is missing from the dropdown where I can select the instance of the function.
This typically is the case when there’s already a resource for that instance.
I however don’t think there is already a resource for the instance.
How can I check this?

When I look in the General Parameters of the element I do see under [Generic DVE Table] the entry for that input.

Where can I find out why that entry is not in the dropdown to select the instance?

We found out that the resource for that specific instance was already created in another Resource Pool.

Below you can see the approach that I followed

  1. On your element card navigate to General Parameters > Resource Info
  2. Fill in the instance value in the filter of the [Generic DVE Linker Table]
  3. Look for the rows with a matching value in column [FK Data] and remember the values in column [Linker Generic DVE FK]
  4. Use the values from the latter column to search the correct rows in the [Generic DVE Table]
  5. In that table you must unhide column DVE Link to Resource Manager in which you can find the Resource ID.
  6. Now we need to open the resources xml file which is located in Skyline DataMiner > ResourceManager folder and look for the resource linked to this ID. The resource will have a link the Resource Pool to which it belongs.
  7. In the same resources xml file we can look up the Resource Pool based on its ID
