Adding device entries to oid2type_Field.conf

To add device entries to the oid2type_Field.conf file:

1. Go to the BASEDIR/smarts/bin directory in the IP Manager installation area and type the following command to open the oid2type_Field.conf file:

                  sm_edit conf/discovery/oid2type_Field.conf
               

2. Observe the syntax of device entry below and add the devices that you want to certify. Chapter 3, Discovery, in the VMware Smart Assurance IP Manager Concepts Guide provides more information on syntax of device entries in oid2type_Field.conf.

   # One or more commented-out lines that identify the device
   <sysObjID> {
   TYPE = <unitary computer system class>
   VENDOR = <manufacturer>
   MODEL = <model name>
   CERTIFICATION = TEMPLATE
   <discovery driver keyword> = <driver parameter name>
   .
   .
   .
   <discovery driver keyword> = <driver parameter name>
   INSTRUMENTATION:
   <instrumentation keyword> = <instrumentation set>
   .
   .
   .
   <instrumentation keyword> = <instrumentation set>
   }
   

3. Save and close the file.

   The modified version of the oid2type_Field.conf file is saved to the BASEDIR/smarts/local/conf/discovery directory.

4. Restart the IP Managers to implement your changes.

   Or, as an alternative to restarting the IP Managers:

   For each IP Manager in your deployment, issue the following command from BASEDIR/smarts/bin to implement your changes:

                  sm_tpmgr -s <
                     IP Manager
                  
                   instance name> -b <
                  brokerName:port
                  > --reloadoid
