Test the Integration Tools Installation
After you install and configure the vCenter Operations Manager integration tools, test the tools to verify that
the installation was successful.
Prerequisites
Install and configure the vCenter Operations Manager integration tools. See “Install and Configure Integration
Tools Files,” on page 21.
Procedure
1 Stop and start the Global Console.
2 In the Global Console Notification Log, right-click a notification that originated in
vCenter Operations Manager and select Client Tools > View Object or Client Tools > Browse Object.
3 Verify that the Resource Detail page for the object related to the notification appears in a new browser
window.
The page URL should be similar to http://server/emcResponder.naaction?
mainAction=showResourceDetails&objectName=Host::10.1.10.17.
4 In the Topology Tree, right-click a UCS-type object, such as a switch or router, and select Client Tools >
Browse Object.
5 Verify that the Resource Detail page for the object appears in a new browser window.
The page URL should be similar to http://server/emcResponder.naaction?
mainAction=showResourceDetails&objectName=Host::10.1.10.17.
Configuring EMC Smarts Adapter Properties
vCenter Operations Manager discovers, imports, and collects data only for the resources and metrics that are
defined in the smarts_adapter.properties file. The smarts_adapter.properties file is in the
vcenter-
ops /plugins/inbound/smarts_adapter/conf folder.
You can use a text editor to edit the smarts_adapter.properties file. Make a back up copy of the file before
you make changes. You must stop and restart the vCenter Operations Manager collector for your changes to
take effect.
NOTE In a vApp installation, you edit the smarts_adapter.properties file on the Analytics virtual machine.
n
EMC Smarts Adapter Properties File Format on page 24
The smarts_adapter.properties file contains properties that affect adapter operation, a series of
statements that define the parts of the EMC Smarts object hierarchy to include in
vCenter Operations Manager, and a series of topo statements that define relationships for container
resources.
n
Defining Object Classes on page 26
Each classes statement in the smarts_adapter.properties file defines a part of the EMC Smarts object
hierarchy for a particular domain. Only objects defined by a classes statement are included when
vCenter Operations Manager performs resource discovery for an adapter instance for that domain.
n
Defining Resource Topologies on page 27
Each topo statement in the smarts_adapter.properties file defines an EMC Smarts topology to be
replicated in vCenter Operations Manager. vCenter Operations Manager uses the information in the
topo statement to define an equivalent application topology in vCenter Operations Manager.
