How to Populate IP Domains with CA Infrastructure Management Data Aggregator

Each CA Infrastructure Management Data Collector host associates managed items with a single IP domain. To enable multi-tenant deployments, assign an IP domain to each Data Collector as soon as you have installed the software.

Before you install a Data Collector, use the CA Performance Center Admin interface to create the tenants and IP domains that you require.

Note: A single IP domain can be associated with multiple Data Collector components. However, only one IP domain can be assigned to each Data Collector component.

Follow these steps:

  1. Log in to CA Performance Center as a user with the Administrator role (a global administrator).
  2. Create a tenant.
  3. Administer the tenant, or log in as the tenant administrator.
  4. Create the IP domain in CA Performance Center.

    The new IP domain appears in the IP Domain list, which is scoped to the current tenant. Other tenant users cannot see items in this IP domain.

  5. Install Data Aggregator components.
  6. Synchronize the Data Aggregator component with CA Performance Center.
  7. Install the Data Collector component.

    Note: For more information about how to install the CA Infrastructure Management Data Aggregator components, see the CA Infrastructure Management Data Aggregator Installation Guide.

    You are asked whether to associate the Data Collector with the Default Tenant. We recommend making this association if you are not deploying multi-tenancy.

  8. Select Admin, Data Source Settings, and click a Data Aggregator data source.
  9. Click Data Collectors in the System Status menu.

    The Data Collector List page opens, displaying a list of available Data Collector installations.

  10. Select an IP domain and a tenant for each Data Collector in the list, and click Assign.

    Note: If you are not deploying multi-tenancy, keep the Default Tenant assignment.

  11. Create a Discovery profile that is associated with each IP domain that you have configured.

    Note: For more information about Discovery, see the CA Infrastructure Management Data Aggregator Administrator Guide.
