To reconfigure the Global Manager for configuration scenario 2:

  1. In the toolbar area of the Global Manager Administration Console, click the Reconfigure toolbar button.

  2. In the Server Reconfiguration confirmation dialog box that appears, click Yes.

  3. In the Server Reconfiguration information dialog box that appears, click Close.

    In response, the Global Manager:

    • Creates an InChargeDomain object named EAST-INCHARGE-BGP and starts the appropriate topology and event drivers.

    • Creates an InChargeDomain object named EAST-INCHARGE-AM and starts the appropriate topology and event drivers.

    • Creates an InChargeDomain object named EAST-INCHARGE-OI and starts the appropriate notification drivers.

    • Consults the VMware Smart Assurance Broker for the deployment and establishes a connection to the EAST-INCHARGE-BGP, EAST-INCHARGE-AM, and EAST-INCHARGE-OI domains.

    • Subscribes to and imports topology and events from the EAST-INCHARGE-BGP EAST-INCHARGE-AM domains.

    • Subscribes to and imports notifications from the EAST-INCHARGE-OI domain.

      The Global Manager will establish an additional connection to the EAST-INCHARGE-BGP domain under any of the following circumstances:

    • To obtain the latest object attribute values for display in the Details tab of a routing-protocol Notification Properties dialog box.

    • To obtain the latest object attribute values for display in a routing-protocol Containment dialog box.

      Similarly, the Global Manager will establish an additional connection to the EAST-INCHARGE-AM domain under any of the following circumstances:

    • To obtain the latest object attribute values for display in the Details tab of an IP Notification Properties dialog box.

    • To obtain the latest object attribute values for display in an IP Containment dialog box.

      Note:

      Because no IP Availability Manager application named INCHARGE-AM is running in configuration scenario 2, users should disable the INCHARGE-AM domain for this scenario.
