BMC Helix Discovery ... Integrating CMDB synchronization Default CDM Mapping

CDM Mapping for Printer

This topic provides information about mapping for printer nodes. The CIs created are described in this topic.

Data models

Note

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 modelCMDB versionsEffect

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_NetworkPort, BMC_LANEndpoint and BMC_IPEndpoint

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

Where BMC Helix 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.
