Configuration

The ADM‐Smarts Integration Configuration screen includes the following tabs:

Publisher: Configures the SAM server connecting to an ADM device.

Scheduling: Configures automatic scheduling of the integration.
N When scheduling an integration, the schedule becomes active at 12:00 A.M. the next day.
OTE

Scope: Defines the entities that are populated to the SAM.
To configure the EMC Smarts Connector
1 Configure the SAM server connecting to the ADM device.
2 Schedule the synchronization between the ADM device and the SAM.
The following synchronization options are available:

Incremental: The incremental update option populates all objects that were created or modified since
the last synchronization.
Since the Incremental update option transfers deltas of data between two points in time, it is used
more frequently.

Complete: The complete update option populates all objects that are included in the configured
ADM to the SAM scope.
Since this option populates all objects, do not use it frequently. It is recommended that you perform
a complete update to correct any synchronization issues that have occurred over time.
3 Define the resources that are populated from the ADM device to the SAM.
The Scope tab defines the resources that are populated from the ADM to the SAM.
Since the ADM discovery process can result in a relatively large set of server and client resources, you
must carefully plan on the scope of integration. The scope of integration should be limited to resources
that are of interest within the SAM context. A broad scope can result in slow synchronization and a large
set of entities in the SAM.
4 Register the ADM in the SAM.
Before transferring any information from the ADM device to the SAM, ADM needs to be registered in the
SAM.
Only one ADM device is registered in the SAM at any given time. If you register a new ADM device by
supplying a different name in the ADM Name field, the existing ADM device is unregistered. If you
register a new ADM device with a name similar to an existing ADM device, the integration assumes that
this is a replacement ADM device and attempts to synchronize the data of the ADM device and the SAM.
The VMware vCenter Application Discovery Manager Online Help provides the complete procedures for these
steps.

Displays the status of the scheduled ADM device and the SAM synchronization.
Available values include:

Active: Automatic synchronization scheduling has been activated.
 Not Active: Automatic synchronization scheduling has not been activated.
Displays the type and the number of elements populated to the SAM.
