Data models

CMDB version differences

The default mapping works with CMDB versions 7.5, 7.6, and 7.6.03 and later. The data model in each is slightly different.

BMC_Impact relationships are not normally created with CMDB 7.6.03 and later, since the CMDB automatically maintains them itself. See the information about impact relationships for more details.

Click here for reference information on impact and the data models.

Different versions of the CMDB have subtly different data models. Syncmappings can support multiple data models with datamodel declarations. CMDB data models are assigned simple integer values:

Data model	CMDB versions	Effect
6	7.6.03 and later	HasImpact and ImpactDirection attributes are set as appropriate.
5	7.6.03 and later	Only to be used with legacy SIM version 7.4. BMC_Impact relationships with Name “ImpactOnly” are created.
4	7.6.03 and later	No impact details are set by BMC Discovery. They may be set by Impact Normalization in the CMDB.
3	7.6 before 7.6.03	BMC_Impact relationships with name “IMPACT” are created.
2	7.5	BMC_Impact relationships with name “IMPACT” are created.

BMC_Printer

The root Printer node is mapped to a root BMC_Printer CI with the following attributes:

Attribute	Details
Name	Printer `name`
ShortDescription	Printer `name`
Description	Printer `name`
CapabilityList	`Print`
HostName	Printer `sysname`
LastScanDate	Printer `last_update_success` — the date and time the device was last scanned
ManufacturerName	Printer `vendor`
Model	Printer `model`
PrimaryCapability	`Print` (11)
PrinterType	`Network Printer` (3)
SerialNumber	Printer `serial`
SystemOID	Printer `sysobjectid`
Category	"`Hardware`"
Type	"`Peripheral`"
Item	"`Printer`"

BMC_NetworkPort, BMC_LANEndpoint and BMC_IPEndpoint

Each Network Interface node connected to the root Printer node in the Discovery model is mapped to a BMC_NetworkPort, and its MAC address is mapped to a BMC_LANEndpoint.

Where Discovery has been able to connect a Printer node to a Network Device node, a BMC_Dependency relationship is created between the two BMC_ComputerSystem CIs representing the printer and the network device.

BMC_NetworkPort

Attribute	Details
Name	NetworkInterface `interface_name`
ShortDescription	NetworkInterface `interface_name`
Description	NetworkInterface `name`"
AutoSense	Yes (0) or No (1) or null if not known
FullDuplex	Yes (0) or No (1) or null if not known
LinkTechnology	Ethernet (2)
ManufacturerName	NetworkInterface `manufacturer`
PermanentAddress	NetworkInterface `mac_addr`
PortType	Ethernet (2)
Speed	NetworkInterface `raw_speed`
Company	HostCompany
Category	"`Hardware`"
Type	"`Card`"
Item	"`Network interface card`"

BMC_NetworkPort relationships

Relationship	Name	Source	Destination
`BMC_HostedSystemComponents`	`SYSTEMHARDWARE`	`BMC_ComputerSystem`	`BMC_NetworkPort`

BMC_LANEndpoint

MAC addresses in the Discovery data model are stored in the conventional form with colons separating each pair of hexadecimal digits; in the CDM, MAC addresses are stored as just the hexadecimal digits, with no separating colons.

Attribute	Details
Name	NetworkInterface `mac_addr`
NameFormat	"`MAC`"
ShortDescription	NetworkInterface `mac_addr`
Description	"MAC address `on` hostname"
Address	MAC address (no separating colons)
MACAddress	MAC address (no separating colons)
ProtocolType	Ethernet (14)
Company	HostCompany
Category	"`Network`"
Type	"`Address`"
Item	"`MAC Address`"

BMC_LANEndpoint relationships

Relationship	Name	Source	Destination
`BMC_HostedAccessPoint`	`HOSTEDACCESSPOINT`	`BMC_ComputerSystem`	`BMC_LANEndpoint`
`BMC_Dependency`	`ENDPOINTPORT`	`BMC_NetworkPort`	`BMC_LANEndpoint`

BMC_IPEndpoint

Each IP Address node related to the root Printer node is mapped to a BMC_IPEndpoint CI:

Attribute	Details
Name	IP Address `ip_addr`
NameFormat	"`IP`"
ShortDescription	IP Address `ip_addr`
Description	IP Address `name`
AddressType	IPv4 (1) or IPv6 (2)
Address	IP Address `ip_addr`
DNSHostName	IP Address `fqdns` (first item in list)
ManagementAddress	Yes (1) if the IP address was used to scan the host; No (0) if not. (Not in CMDB 7.5.)
ProtocolType	IPv4 (2) or IPv6 (3)
PrefixLength	IP Address `prefix_length`
SubnetMask	IP Address `netmask`
Company	HostCompany
Category	"`Network`"
Type	"`Address`"
Item	"`IP Address`"

BMC_IPEndpoint relationships

Relationship	Name	Source	Destination
`BMC_HostedAccessPoint`	`HOSTEDACCESSPOINT`	`BMC_ComputerSystem`	`BMC_IPEndpoint`
`BMC_Dependency`	`ENDPOINTPORT`	`BMC_NetworkPort`	`BMC_IPEndpoint`
`BMC_Dependency`	`BINDSTO`	`BMC_LANEndpoint`	`BMC_IPEndpoint`

BMC_IPConnectivitySubnet

Discovery Subnet nodes are mapped to BMC_IPConnectivitySubnet:

Attribute	Details
Name	Subnet `ip_address_range`
ShortDescription	Subnet `ip_address_range`
Description	Subnet `ip_address_range`
SubnetNumber	Subnet `ip_address_range`
AddressType	IPv4 (1) or IPv6 (2)
PrefixLength	IP Address `prefix_length`
SubnetMask	IP Address `netmask`
Company	HostCompany
Category	"`Network`"
Type	"`Subnet`"
Item	"`TCP/IP`"

Subnet relationships

Relationship	Name	Source	Destination
`BMC_InIPSubnet`	`INIPSUBNET`	`BMC_IPConnectivitySubnet`	`BMC_IPEndpoint`

BMC_ConcreteCollection

FunctionalComponent nodes representing CAM Functional Components are mapped to BMC_ConcreteCollection.

Attribute	Details
Name	Functional Component `name`
ShortDescription	Functional Component `name`
Description	Functional Component `name`
Model	Functional Component `type`
Company	Host `Company`
Category	"`Software`"
Type	"`Application`"

Functional Component relationships

Relationship	Name	Source	Destination
`BMC_Component`	`ITEMINFUNCTIONALCOMPONENT`	`BMC_ConcreteCollection`	`BMC_SoftwareServer` First-order SI.
`BMC_Component`	`ITEMINFUNCTIONALCOMPONENT`	`BMC_ConcreteCollection`	`BMC_ApplicationSystem` Second-order SI.
`BMC_Component`	`ITEMINFUNCTIONALCOMPONENT`	`BMC_ConcreteCollection`	`BMC_ApplicationService`
`BMC_Component`	`ITEMINFUNCTIONALCOMPONENT`	`BMC_ConcreteCollection`	`BMC_Cluster`
`BMC_Component`	`ITEMINFUNCTIONALCOMPONENT`	`BMC_ConcreteCollection`	`BMC_DataBase`
`BMC_Component`	`ITEMINFUNCTIONALCOMPONENT`	`BMC_ConcreteCollection`	`BMC_Application`
`BMC_Component`	`FUNCTIONALCOMPONENTINAPPLICATION`	`BMC_Application`	`BMC_ConcreteCollection`

The relationship between BMC_Application and BMC_ConcreteCollection is used for Functional Components reached from any of the following node kinds:
