Environment Type in CMDB

[RAHUL Khanna1]

Team, 

I am looking to autopopulate the environemtn type (PROD and Non PROD) based on a discovery schedule. Any help is appreciated.

Any Update on the update set?

For non-production instances, what is the recommended CI class? Would it be the same as the production instance?

Two options:

1) Base it upon the network segment
If you have a well segmented network, you can set environment based upon the network/mask

2) Base it upon the naming convention of the device discovered
If you have a naming convention which has an indicator for Dev, UAT, Stress, Prod (d,u,s,p) at the beginning or end of any CI name...

A third option exists for servers.  If you have a local configuration file which is populated at the time the server is stood up, you can set Environment, Assigned To, etc.  This is the least desirable because it requires manual intervention on a broader scale that the other two options.

Yes, I have a Discovery schedule that identifies the environments. How do I proceed with Point 1

Then you need to script the update.

If you create a data lookup table which is populated with Network/Mask and Environment, you should be able to reference that table either in your discovery pattern or in an on insert or on update business rule.
