Hi, CMDB v2.1 Topology Discovery 1.6 Remedy v7.1
Scenario: Assume that Hosts 'A' and 'B' are connected/linked to the same IP End Point 'C'. These are being discovered by Topology Discovery. Per my understanding, within the Topology Dataset in CMDB, there should be 1 CI corresponding to 'A' in the BMC_ComputerSystem Class, 1 CI corresponding to 'B' in the BMC_ComputerSystem Class and 1 CI corresponding to 'C' in the BMC_IPENDPOINT class and 2 entries in the BMC_Base Relationships class (1 relationship between A and C, and 1 between B and C) However, it turns out that there are 2 instances of the 'C' CI in the Topology Discovery Dataset and 1 instance of the 'C' CI is linked to 'A' and another instance of the 'C' CI is linked to 'B'. Is there something that I am not understanding here? I was thinking that a CI should be unique, so there should be only one instance of 'C' (and not 2) in the Topology dataset (IPENDPOINT class). Can somebody please clarify the concept for me? -- Thanks, Jason _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org attend wwrug11 www.wwrug.com ARSList: "Where the Answers Are"
