Topology Split Manager events

List of Topology Split Manager events lists the events that the Topology Split Manager is capable of generating. For each event, the table identifies the managed object for the event and the condition or threshold that will trigger the event. Because no VMware Smart Assurance application subscribes to the events, the events are not evaluated or polled and thus the state (notified, cleared) of an event never changes.

Table 1. List of Topology Split Manager events

Managed object	Event	Condition or threshold
TopoSplit_Manager	Imbalance	The topology-split algorithm failed to reach an acceptable balanced split (ImbalanceRatio 1 > BalanceThreshold 1) in the allowed number of attempts. The allowed number of attempts is 3 by default and is specified in NumberOfRetries 1. ImbalanceRatio is equal to MaxDomainWeight 1 divided by AvgDomainWeight 1. The topology-split algorithm stops, and the “Imbalance” event is written to the Topology Split Manager’s log file.
TopoSplit_InChargeDomain	TooManyDevices	The number of devices is greater than the DeviceHighWaterMark value (NumberOfDevices 2> DeviceHighWaterMark 2). The value of DeviceHighWaterMark is propagated from the same-named attribute of TopoSplit_Manager. The topology-split algorithm is not affected by this event, and users will not see this event because no application subscribes to it.
	TooManyAdapters	The number of managed network adapters is greater than the AdapterHighWaterMark value (NumberOfManagedNetworkAdapters 2 > AdapterHighWaterMark 2). The value of AdapterHighWaterMark is propagated from the same-named attribute of TopoSplit_Manager. The topology-split algorithm is not affected by this event, and users will not see this event because no application subscribes to it.
	TooManyProxies	The number of proxies in the domain is greater than the ProxyThreshold value (ProxyRatio 1> ProxyThreshold 1). ProxyRatio is equal to the NumberOfProxies 1 divided by the NumberOfDevices 1. The topology-split algorithm is not affected by this event, and users will not see this event because no application subscribes to it.
1**Attribute of TopoSplit_Manager, which has a single instance named TopoSplit-Manager. 2**Attribute of TopoSplit_InChargeDomain, which has an instance for each domain.
