Configure Topology Collection

To integrate Systems Insight Manager topology into OMi, perform the following steps on your Operations Connector host:

1. Change the current directory to <OvDataDir>/conf/HPBsmIntSIM and open the topology integration configuration file in a plain text editor.

2. In the topology configuration file, edit the following options:

   • sim_server_hostname: Specify the domain name of your SIM system.

3. Review the preconfigured values of basic configuration options and adjust them as needed. Add and configure advanced options if necessary. For descriptions of basic and advanced options, see Integration Configuration Options topic.

4. Save your changes.

5. Review the policies to make sure their settings are proper for your Operations Connector configuration.

6. From the Operations Connector web interface, activate the policies.

7. To start the collection service, run the following command:

   ovc -start simt

   Startup of the services initiates topology collection from SIM and forwarding of the topology to OMi.

Verify your connection settings by checking for the presence of the
sim_topology.xml file in the <OvDataDir>/datafiles/HPBsmIntSIM directory on the Operations Connector host. If the file does not exist, check the corresponding Operations Connector log file. For details, see Log Files topic.

If you deactivate the policy for SIM topology, topology changes continue to be collected while the policy remains inactive after the deactivation. The processing and forwarding of accumulated changes resume when you reactivate the policy.
