Re: CI TYPE FOR HUBS, SWITCHES ROUTERS

2009-12-08 Thread Luttmann, Michael W CTR USA
We started this way as well (just using ProdCats), until we decided to move 
those items to the custom class.

The other replies listing caveats about discovery tools and configuration 
should be kept in mind - although we do not use BMC Discovery, and our other 
tools (SMS/SCCM) are only used to track client workstations.  Network devices 
are managed manually by our switch team (and they prefer it that way).

Like many other aspects of ITSM/CMDB, a lot depends on your local 
configuration, processes, and needs.

SV: CI TYPE FOR HUBS, SWITCHES ROUTERS

2009-12-08 Thread Petrus Johansson
I second that and the response before...
Rather than creating a custom CICLass for the routers, switches and hubs, use 
BMCComputerSystem class and use the PrimaryCapability to determine what type of 
ComputerSystem it is.
I have created a Tier1 in the ProdCat named Network for all different network 
types of CIs... Working in Asset Mgmt the end users don´t care or should have 
to know what CIClass the CIs are stored in. You use CTI or Find to look for 
the CIs... Keep in mind that the CDM is complex enough as it is - only add a 
Class if you REALLY have to.

Re: CI TYPE FOR HUBS, SWITCHES ROUTERS

2009-12-07 Thread Luttmann, Michael W CTR USA
We preferred to keep our switches/routers separate from all our other
computer systems, so I made a custom class (with Computer System as
the super class), called Network Device.

It was a good exercise is custom class creation!

There's plenty of discussion on this, but I think it's safe to say the
norm is to use Computer System and use CTI or the Primary Capability
field to get specific on the type of hardware.

Re: CI TYPE FOR HUBS, SWITCHES ROUTERS

2009-12-07 Thread John Kelley
Hi 

We use also used the class Computer System with:
Tier 1- Hardware
Tier 2- Network
Tier 3- Router
Then the Product name is the type of router (Cisco) -  Made sense for us.
We separated Switches and Hubs in the tier 3 level as well.
