Add Device Models to CA Performance Center IP Domain Models

After database synchronization occurs, the IP domains that you created in CA Performance Center are displayed as CA Performance Center IP Domains in OneClick. The device models that you add to these IP Domains are associated with IP domain definitions in CA Performance Center, polled by Data Aggregator, and included in dashboards.

You can also apply Search criteria to an IP Domain or Global Collection so that its membership is updated dynamically.

Although CA Performance Center IP Domain models are not Global Collections, they share many properties. Consequently, the configuration of a CA Performance Center IP Domain uses many of the common Global Collection dialogs. But these IP Domain models are designated with a special icon in OneClick:

Note: CA Spectrum devices can only be members of a single IPDomain model type. If you attempt to add a model to multiple IP domains, you see an error message.

Follow these steps:

1. In any topology, take one of the following steps to select a device model to add to an IP Domain:
   • Single model selection: In the Navigation panel, right-click a modeled element and select Add To, Global Collection(s).

     The Select Global Collections dialog opens. CA Performance Center IP Domain models appear in the list among your Global Collections.

     Note: Or you can right-click a single model in a topology view and select Add To, Global Collection(s).

   • Multiple model selection: To multiselect models in a topology view, take the following steps:
     1. Press and hold the SHIFT key and individually select the modeled elements.
     2. While the SHIFT key is pressed, right-click the last selected modeled element and select Add To, Global Collection(s).

     The Select Global Collections dialog opens. CA Performance Center IP Domain models appear in the list among your Global Collections.

2. Select the name of the IP Domain model where you want to add the models.

   IP Domains are designated with a special icon:

3. Click OK.

   If Data Aggregator has been configured to discover devices from other data sources, the devices from CA Spectrum are discovered by Data Aggregator at the next synchronization. The devices are added to CA Performance Center with an IP domain association that mirrors the CA Performance Center IP Domain membership in CA Spectrum.

   Verify that SNMP profiles for monitored devices are available in CA Performance Center and create them if necessary.
