Distributed service model

A service model that is distributed across two or more Infrastructure Management Servers is called a distributed service model. When the number of CIs in a service model exceeds the maximum limit of CIs allowed in a single server, it is possible to distribute the model across multiple Infrastructure Management Servers.

When creating a distributed service model, relationships must not span back and forth frequently across multiple servers (cells). An inappropriate model might deteriorate the performance of Infrastructure Management. The number of relationships spanning across multiple Infrastructure Management Servers must be kept to a minimum. A model must be present completely on a single Infrastructure Management Server as much as possible. For information about sizing the Infrastructure Management environment, see Sizing charts and guidelines for event and impact management.

The following section describes the architecture diagram for the distributed service model:

• The distributed service model is split across multiple Infrastructure Management servers to manage the large number of CIs. To know more information about how to create a distributed service model, see Creating a distributed service model.
• You can view a distributed service model in the TrueSight console. To view a distributed service model, ensure that each of the Infrastructure Management server is registered as a component with the Presentation Server. For more information, see Setting up services to monitor from the TrueSight console.
