Farm Metric Server Errors

Error2: (Code: c0160af2, The Farm Metric Server cannot be contacted. Make sure the Farm Metric Servers are running and that you can connect to them. Resource Manager will not function correctly as a result.) when Opening the Citrix Management Console on MetaFrame XPe

The error can be reproduced with two servers in a farm. By default, the first server in the farm that has Resource Manager installed becomes the Farm Metric Server. Installing Resource Manager to Server 2 in the farm does not automatically make Server 2 a Backup Farm Metric Server. Opening the Citrix Management Console > Resource Manager > Farm Metric Server tab showed only Server 1 as the Farm Metric Server and as a Backup Farm Metric Server.

Therefore, if Server 1 is powered off and the Citrix Management Console is opened on Server 2, the above error is generated. If Server 2 is set as a Backup Farm Metric server and Server 1 is powered off, you would not get the above error message.
