Topology representation and root-cause analysis

The
splits the devices in the topology into multiple domains such that:
  • The topology representation by the multiple
    IP Availability Manager
    s is equivalent to the topology representation by a single
    IP Availability Manager
    if that manager were able to manage all devices in the topology
    .
  • The root-cause analysis by the multiple
    IP Availability Manager
    s is equivalent to the root-cause analysis by a single
    IP Availability Manager
    if that manager were able to manage all devices in the topology
    .
