Both Server Manager and IP Domain Manager have similar capabilities for discovering and monitoring resource and environment entities via SNMP for Hosts. To avoid duplicate discovery and monitoring of Resource/Environment entities which results in duplicate notifications, configure the Server Manager differently depending on how the IP Domain Manager is deployed.

If the IP Domain Manager is started as an IP Availability Manager, it does not perform any resource or environment discovery. In this case, enable the resource and environment discovery in Server Manager. Modify the ESM.import file to change the parameters to TRUE.

If the IP Domain Manager is started as an IP Availability and Performance Manager, it performs both resource and environment discovery and monitoring. In this case, disable the resource and environment discovery in Server Manager. Modify the ESM.import file to change the parameters to FALSE if they are already enabled.

Table 1. Server Manager discovery parameters based on IP Manager deployment

Deployment of IP Domain Manager

Configuration of Server Manager (conf/esm/ESM.import)

IP Availability Manager (am)

  • IsEnvironmentDiscoveryEnabled = TRUE

  • EnableCPUFilesystemMemoryDiscovery = TRUE

IP Availability and Performance Manager (am-pm)

  • IsEnvironmentDiscoveryEnabled = FALSE

  • EnableCPUFilesystemMemoryDiscovery = FALSE

The EnableCPUFilesystemMemoryDiscovery parameter controls resource discovery which consists of Memory, Processor, Disk, FileSystem, ProcessorGroup, and MemoryGroup.

The IsEnvironmentDiscoveryEnabled parameter controls environment discovery which consists of PowerSupply, VoltageSensor, Fan, and TemperatureSensor.
