DB connectivity using tideway

2012-05-17T11:44:19+00:00

i have to connect to a teradata DB using tideway. my pattern is not getting validated as the type attribute mentioned in definitions was type:= teradata_integration.
when i checked in documentations i saw that type only supports sql integration.

What should i do to make it support teradata?

Reporting Recent Run Summary (i.e. total number of success, no response, no access)

2012-05-16T19:01:54+00:00

I’m trying to customize a report where it provides the label (name of the scan schedule) as well as the results of that scan from a summary standpoint. I want to see how many number of hosts are Success, No Access, No Response, Skipped, and Error. Again, I am seeking just the aggregate number for one particular scan schedule (or label).

extended sync pattern to change direction of relations in cmdb

2012-05-10T07:38:01+00:00

hi,

if i craete a custom syncpattern that would change the direction of relations in cmdb for lets say the BMC_Database components, would that be possible since the original pattern would also run create the relations as defined? or does the custom pattern overrule the original one and create only the 1 relation defined there?

thanks
cheers

How do I override FQDN for Network Device?

2012-05-14T18:19:01+00:00

I have created this pattern to change the NetworkDevice name to remove the domain portion prior to a CMDB Sync. Am I on the right track here? Are there any updates you would make to be more efficient?

syncmapping FQDNNetworkDevice_Name_Override 1.0

    mapping from NetworkDevice_ComputerSystem.device as device
        // No additions, just modifying the existing ComputerSystem CI below.
    end mapping;

    body
      device_cs := NetworkDevice_ComputerSystem.device_cs;
      device_cs.Name := device_cs.HostName;
        
        if device_cs.Name has substring "." then
      // Modify the DeviceName to only include content up to the first dot

ADDM -> CMDB Sync filters. Best or Common practices.

2012-05-11T17:02:52+00:00

Is there documentation on what is the best practice for setting up ADDM Device/Component/CI filtering?

In her video Zoe mentioned that it was common to have all devices sync to the CMDB. I’m trying to determine how much of our discovered data to sync with the CMDB. I can see how it would be useful to have everything found by ADDM synced up with the CMDB, but at the same time, I do not want to push so much data that it is cumbersome or detrimental.

Do you use any filters?

If so, what are they?

virtual host not being identifyed as a host container

2012-05-16T13:47:43+00:00

I am running VM ware V center and have both my v sphere and v center credentials loaded and can discover both of the esxi servers by the v center credentials but I can not get it to show as a host container and all the servers that reside on the esxi server show up as software Instances and not Host. any ideas ON what is going wrong would be greatly appreciated.

Discovery of Serial No. for HP Blade servers.

2012-05-15T10:55:10+00:00

Hi,

We have disovered few HP Blade servers (ProLiant) using ADDM 8.2.2.

For all the servers, ADDM has discovered logical Serial number. However, blade servers contains 2 serial numbers (Serial No. / Product ID & Logical).

As per the server administrators, ADDM should discover “Product ID” and not the logical Serial No.

Please suggest, how can I discover Product ID (Serial No).

Thank you.

SUNWsneep in 8.3.2

2012-05-15T14:37:04+00:00

Is there a minimum package version for using sneep in 8.3.2 ?

Is there likely to be a difference in the way serial number is outputted using different variances?

Multiple Solaris Physical/Logical Domain hosts under single host record

2012-04-17T16:34:22+00:00

Apologies in advance if this is discussed in another thread, but I was unable to find a match searching threads for my situation.

I have multiple M-Series and T-Series Sun/Oracle SPARC machines running Solaris 10 that are carved up with physical/logical domains as appropriate for the type of hardware. We use sneep to populate the eeprom with the hardware serial number. When ADDM scans some of these hosts via ssh, it will populate a single host record with one name and multiple “Scanned via” addresses, even though they’re physically or logically domained as separate hosts. The only common thread I find, is that the hardware serial number is the same. How do I configure ADDM to recognize that the hosts are distinct even though the hardware serial number is the same?
