Designing topology synchronization

A
Global Manager
imports topology from configured underlying
VMware Smart Assurance
domains. The topology sources are specified in the
Global Manager
’s ics-default.xml file located in the BASEDIR/smarts/conf/ics directory. A
Global Manager
synchronizes its topology whenever any of the following occurs:
  • The
    Global Manager
    is started.
  • A reconfiguration to an underlying server is required.
  • The analysis domain is reconnected after a connection loss or a restart.
  • The analysis domain performs a full or incremental discovery, or rediscovers an object; or a manual discovery is initiated.
