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.
