The Adapter provides a link from the Alcatel-Lucent 5620 SAM EMS Service Aware Manager Open Interface (SAM-O) to the following
VMware Smart Assurance
Domain Manager
s:
  • IP Availability Manager
    or Network-Resource Manager
  • MPLS Topology Manager
  • s (Manager for BGP, Manager for OSPF, Manager for IS-IS)
  • The Adapter sends topology queries by XML streams to the EMS, where they are processed. Near real-time events are passed from the EMS by Java Message Service (JMS), also in XML format, to the Adapter. Based on the events, the Adapter creates notifications in the
    Adapter Platform
    . The
    Adapter Platform
    creates notifications for display in the
    VMware Smart Assurance
    Global Console
    .
