Topology collection and forwarding
The Operations Connector for OME synchronizes the topology information from OME to OMi by performing the following steps:
1. The topology information is collected from OME using the REST API.
2. In Operations Connector for OME, the collected topology information by REST API is stored in an XML file.
3. The stored topology information is processed by the Topology Integration policy, and then forwarded to OMi.
OME topology structure is mapped to an equivalent structure in OMi. The scope of objects that are collected by the Operations
Connector from OME and imported into OMi depends on the Dell EMC devices discovered and managed by the OME. You can
view all the imported devices and their basic properties in the OMi console once the initial topology collection and forwarding
process is complete.
NOTE: Deleting any node in OME does not synchronize in OMi immediately, rather it follows the usual aging cycle of OMi.
Any change explicitly made in OMi on nodes or relationships does not affect the nodes in OME.
NOTE: If you do not want to monitor a specific node in OMi, then add the node to the exclusion filter in OME or remove the
node from OME.

Viewing Dell EMC devices
NOTE:
Ensure that you create a custom view for the Dell EMC devices. For more information about how to
create a custom view, see the Dell EMC OpenManage HPE OMi Operations Connector Installation Guide at Dell.com/
openmanagemanuals
1. Launch the HPE Operations Manager i console.
2. Click Workspaces > Operations Console > Event Perspective.
3. In VIEW EXPLORER, select the custom view that you created.
In the OMi console, you can view all the Dell EMC devices grouped under the OME.
Device attributes in HPE Operations Manager i console
The following are the device attributes collected from OME, for the Dell EMC devices in the OMi console:
● BiosAssetTag
● Display Label
● Monitored By
● Name
● NodeModel
● osDescription
● PrimaryDNSname
● PrimaryIPAddress
● SerialNumber
