Discovery of Cisco ACI

This section details the necessary configuration of the files and components in the Smart Assurance IP Availability and Performance Manager to discover Cisco ACI fabric.

For the Discovery of Cisco ACI:

• Before starting the Smart Assurance IP Availability and Performance Manager, change the value of flag DisableJAVAProbe to FALSE in the discovery.conf file.

  Execute the command:

  sm_edit ../conf/discovery/discovery.conf

  The VMware Smart Assurance System Administration Guide provides additional information about the sm_edit utility.

• Update Device Access Setting for Cisco ACI.
• Update Device Access Setting for DCF.

Note: Make the necessary changes for Cisco ACI Access Group, Kafka Bus Access Group, and Data Collector Access Group setting from the Smart Assurance IP Availability and Performance Manager directly as setting changes cannot be applied from the Configuration Manager.
