The Global Manager imports instances of the following topology object types from VoIP Availability Manager. The imported topology includes devices, collections, logical elements, physical packages, applications, network services, software services, processes, service connections, redundancy groups, and Business Impact Manager (BIM) service offerings and subscribers. Chapter 3, “Identifying VoIP Objects and Their Failures,” describes these topology object types.

      The Global Manager combines the Host, CallServer, Node, Router, Switch, MediaGateway, and Card objects with their counterparts—identical instances of Host, CallServer, Node, Router, Switch, MediaGateway, and Card—in the topology imported from IP Availability Manager.

      VMware Smart Assurance VoIP Availability Manager Discovery Guide describes how the topology objects are discovered and provides additional model information.
