As an administrator, you can synchronize the maintenance mode status with connectors that support inbound to connector update operations on the IsInMaintenance USM property. The following connectors support this use case:
Note: See the CA Catalyst Connector Guide for each connector to verify other connectors that support the use case.
A maintenance mode update for a CI in a domain manager changes the CA Catalyst CI reconciled sheet according to the reconciliation formula. After this change occurs, connectors supporting the use case invoke the change in their domain managers, so that maintenance status is synchronized across your enterprise.
The use case also affects the maintenance mode in CA SOI. You can configure CA SOI so that IsInMaintenance property updates in the source domain manager change the CA SOI maintenance mode setting for the CI. For more information about maintenance mode in CA SOI, see the CA SOI Administration Guide.
Although most reconciliation formulas work with the maintenance mode synchronization use case, the most common formulas to apply to the use case are as follows:
Updates the CA SOI maintenance mode status and the IsInMaintenance property in the CA Catalyst reconciled sheet and other domain managers. Updates are based on the setting in one source of truth domain manager. For example, if you define CA CMDB as the single source of truth, and a CI managed in CA CMDB goes into maintenance, the update occurs in CA SOI and all other domain managers with connectors that support the use case. An update to the maintenance status in other domain managers is ignored and reverted to the single source of truth value.
Updates the CA SOI maintenance mode status and the IsInMaintenance property in the reconciled sheet and other domain managers. Updates are based on the last domain manager that updated the property. For example, if you put a CI into maintenance in CA NSM, the update occurs in CA SOI and all other domain managers with connectors that support the use case. Also, if you put a CI into maintenance in CA SOI, the update occurs across domains. This formula synchronizes every maintenance mode update.
The use case supports only updating the property, not creating or deleting. The specific USM property for which updates are synchronized is IsInMaintenance. The following USM types include this property:
|
|
Note: The list includes types that at least one participating connector supports. Not all participating connectors support all of these types.
Use this scenario to guide you through the process:
Important! This release supports only the synchronization customizations described in Step 4. Do not perform additional customization to synchronization settings or the synchronization plan.
Note: See the CA Catalyst Connector Guide for each connector to verify whether it supports updating IsInMaintenance in its domain manager.
