BAC 7 Features SiteScope EMS Topology

2 Customer Scenarios You are at a customer site and they ask you if you can add their entire list of servers to the CMDB so they can use it as a repository for their infrastructure. They have already got a CMDB but their probe crashed and they need to populate the CMDB with additional servers. The problem is that they have about 350 servers to add… What should you do? –Add them manually (which can take you a week). –Push them with the new EMS integration topology, and then assign a type to the servers and associate them to their networks via enrichment (which might take you half a day).

4 Quick Demo

5 Background So we can see that SiteScope can do some sort of discovery without installing a discovery probe, but it is still not on the same level as discovery with DDM (previously MAM). Based on Jython code. Take an example from the scripts, hack it, understand the mechanism and populate new CIs. Another good location is the BAC discovery script repository found at \\HPBAC\mam_lib\packages\ (found on every BAC installation), extract a zip file and under the ‘discoveryScripts’ folder you can find scripts.\\HPBAC\mam_lib\packages\ Can populate applications and tickets out of the box. –But we are more interested in hosts since there are generally many more hosts than applications. Later with enrichment manager we can assigned them to host_type, host_os, etc…
