How to Add Probe Clusters to UCMDB

This task describes how to add a probe cluster to UCMDB.

  1. Create a cluster

    1. In Data Flow Management , go to Data Flow Probe Setup.
    2. In the Domains and Probes tree, select the Data Flow Probes node.
    3. Click , and select New Cluster.
    4. Enter a name and a description for the cluster.
  2. Define a network range for cluster

    Select the cluster in the Domains and Probes tree on the left, and in the Ranges pane on the right, click New Range to define a network range for the cluster.

    For details, see New/Edit Range Dialog Box.

  3. Add Data Flow Probes to the cluster

    1. Select the cluster in the Domains and Probes tree.

    2. In the Associated Probes pane on the right, click Add Probe to Cluster , and select Data Flow Probes to add to the cluster.

      Note

      • A Data Flow Probe can belong to one cluster only.

      • You can define a Data Flow Probe in a cluster even before the Data Flow Probe has actually been installed and connects to the UCMDB Server. To do this, select the cluster in the Domains and Probes tree, click New Data Flow Probe , and give the Probe a name and a description.

      • When a Data Flow Probe is added to a cluster its whole network range becomes part of the cluster's range. If you remove the Probe from the cluster, the Probe will have no defined network ranges because all of them remain part of cluster's range.

        Exception: If the Probe was added, and then removed without making any changes to its range, and before saving the cluster, then its range is not merged with the cluster's range, but remains with the Probe.

      • If management zones are used on the Probe that you are adding to the cluster, and those management zones contain IP ranges, add the IP ranges to the management zones again using the Edit Management Zones dialog box.
    3. (Optional). Set TQL constraints for one or more Probes. For details, see Set TQL Constraint.
  4. Save the cluster

    Click OK at the bottom of the Details pane to save the cluster.

  5. Results

    The cluster balances its network ranges among its Probes. For details, see Cluster Range Distribution Policy.
