Understanding device access groups and settings

Because the
IP Manager
is a component of many
VMware Smart Assurance
deployments, the
IP Availability Manager
has been selected as the central repository for storing the device access credentials for other
Domain Manager
s — such as command line interface (CLI) login credentials required by
and
to perform CLI discovery and, optionally, CLI polling. The satellite
Domain Manager
s import the device access credentials as well as initial topology from
IP Availability Manager
when they add
IP Availability Manager
as a source.
