for
IP Availability Manager
. If your network contains F5 Load Balancers that are not listed
in the , you can add entries for
those devices to the oid2type_Field.conf file.
To field-certify
an F5 Load Balancer:
- Go to the BASEDIR/smarts/bin directory in theIP Managerinstallation area and type the following command to open the oid2type_Field.conf file:sm_edit conf/discovery/oid2type_Field.conf
- Add the following lines:<SystemOID>{ TYPE = LoadBalancer VENDOR = F5Networks MODEL = BIG-IP CERTIFICATION = TEMPLATE CONT = F5-LoadBlncer HEALTH = F5-LoadBalancer INSTRUMENTATION: Environment = F5LBEnvMon:DeviceID Interface-Fault = MIB2 Interface-Performance = MIB2 Port-Fault = MIB2 Port-Performance = MIB2 }
- Save and close the file.The modified version of the oid2type_Field.conf file is saved to the BASEDIR/smarts/local/conf/discovery directory.
- Restart theIP Availability Managerin your deployment to implement your changes.Or, as an alternative to restarting theIP Availability Manager, issue the following command from BASEDIR/smarts/bin in theIP Availability Manager’s installation area to implement your changes:sm_tpmgr -s<IP Availability Managername>--reloadoid
