Specify the underlying domains for configuration scenario 1

By default, after loading Network Protocol Manager, as described in “Loading the XML configuration file for Network Protocol Manager,” INCHARGE-BGP, INCHARGE-EIGRP, INCHARGE-ISIS, and INCHARGE-OSPF are disabled. Also, by default, INCHARGE-AM is enabled, and INCHARGE-OI is disabled. The names of disabled domains appear as gray text in the Global Manager Administration Console, and the names of enabled domains appear as black text.

Before and after completing configuration scenario 1 previews the configuration changes for configuration scenario 1.

During its initial startup the Global Manager performs the following tasks:

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

• Consults the VMware Smart Assurance Broker for the deployment and establishes a connection to the INCHARGE-AM application.

• Subscribes to and imports topology and events from the INCHARGE-AM application.

  Every time that the Global Manager is restarted, it automatically initiates a server reconfiguration (that is, calls the reconfigure method) to align the IC domain and domain group configuration objects with the InCharge domain and domain group objects. Because the only IC Domain Configuration object enabled at the initial startup is INCHARGE-AM, the only alignment that is required is the one just described.

  If the synchronization with the INCHARGE-AM application fails, or if no IP Availability Manager application named INCHARGE-AM exists in the deployment, the Global Manager writes an error message to its log file.
