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.
 Scope:DefinestheentitiesthatarepopulatedtotheSAM.
To configure the EMC Smarts Connector
1ConfiguretheSAMserverconnectingtotheADMdevice.
2Schedule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.
3Define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.
4Register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.
