Impact Analysis Rules

This package contains basic impact analysis rules to enable impact analysis and root cause analysis in UCMDB. These impact analysis rules are templates for more complex rules that you can define based on business needs.

All impact analysis rules fully propagate both Change and Operation events. For details on impact analysis, see "Impact Analysis Manager Page" and "Impact Analysis Manager Overview" in the Modeling section of the UCMDB Help.

Note Impact analysis events are not propagated to Fibre Channel Ports for performance reasons.

FC Port to FC Port

This impact analysis rule propagates events between related fiber channel ports.

FC Switch Devices to FC Switch

This impact analysis rule propagates events from a Fibre Channel Port to and from a Switch. The event is also propagated to the associated Storage Fabric.

Host Devices to Host

This impact analysis rule propagates events between Fibre Channel HBAs and Hosts, and Logical Volumes on the Host.

Logical Volume to Logical Volume

This impact analysis rule propagates events on a Logical Volume contained in a Storage Array to the dependent Logical Volume on the Host.

Storage Array Devices to Storage Array

This impact analysis rule propagates events between Logical Volumes, Storage Processors, Fibre Channel HBAs, and Storage Arrays.
