How to create a Smarts IP Availability Manager (AM) Field Certification for a device when other similar devices for the vendor have been certified.
Resolution
First, go through the existing certifications for the vendor and try to find a close match. If it is a router, see if there are any routers certified for this vendor. Also, look how close the OID of the device is to the already certified device. The closest match will be used as a TEMPLATE. Copy the existing Certification sm_edit conf/discovery/oid2type_Field.conf Paste the certification to conf/discovery/oid2type_Field.conf Modify the OID to reflect the new device and change the CERTIFICATION type to TEMPLATE Save the file. It will be saved in the <BASEDIR>/IP/smarts/local/conf/discovery directory To load the Field certification run the following command: <BASEDIR>/IP/smarts/bin/sm_tpmgr -s <IP_NAME> --reloadoid Now discover devices with that OID. Below is a template certification for a Cisco Router. In order to configure this template for other Cisco Routers, one needs to fill in the SysOID and the MODEL and make sure that CERTIFICATION is set to TEMPLATE.<SysOID> { TYPE = Router VENDOR = Cisco MODEL = <MODEL> CERTIFICATION = TEMPLATE CONT = Cisco-Router NEIGHBOR = Cisco-Cdp HEALTH = Cisco-Router INSTRUMENTATION: Environment = CiscoEnvMon:DeviceID CPU/Memory = CiscoRouter Interface-Fault = MIB2 Interface-Performance = CiscoRouter Interface-Ethernet-Performance = CiscoRouter_Ethernet} In this example I used Cisco 7100 certification below: Cisco 7100 Series Router (C7100-JK2S-M) .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.276 { TYPE = Router VENDOR = Cisco MODEL = C7100-JK2S-M CERTIFICATION = CERTIFIED CONT = Cisco-Router NEIGHBOR = Cisco-Cdp HEALTH = Cisco-Router INSTRUMENTATION: Environment = CiscoEnvMon:DeviceID CPU/Memory = CiscoRouter Interface-Fault = MIB2 Interface-Performance = CiscoRouter Interface-Ethernet-Performance = CiscoRouter_Ethernet}
