Data model
The
discovers and builds a data model of the devices in the
managed IP network. The model represents the devices objects, their
relationships, their internal components, and their logical connections.
The
also builds a data model of special topology-split
objects in order to split the discovered objects across multiple domains. That
data model, shown in
Topology-split data
model, is the focus of this discussion.
Topology-split data
model

The topology-split objects in
the data model are represented as instances of the following
VMware Smart Assurance
classes:
- TopoSplit_Domain
- TopoSplit_InChargeDomain
- TopoSplit_Node
- TopoSplit_Link
- TopoSplit_SuperLinkTopoSplit_Domain and TopoSplit_InChargeDomain are sibling classes, and TopoSplit_Node and TopoSplit_Link are sibling classes. TopoSplit_SuperLink is a subclass of TopoSplit_Link.The TopoSplit_Manager class, not shown in Topology-split data model, manages the TopoSplit_InChargeDomain objects. It is a singleton class (the instance is TopoSplit_Manager::TopoSplit-Manager) and has attributes for configuring various aspects of the topology split.The provides descriptions ofVMware Smart Assuranceclasses, relationships, connections, and hierarchies.
