How discovery discover CIs in Converged Infrastructure (cmdb_ci_converged_infra) class?

[M Sindhu]

Hi All,

We have a requirement to discover the Converged Infrastructure Devices and currently the Converged Infrastructure are getting discovered in ESX Server or Nutanix host depending on the device. However, there is a class for Converged Infrastructure (cmdb_ci_converged_infra) so I wanted to check what is the discovery criteria based on which the CIs will be discovered in Converged Infrastructure class.

I checked and found that there is no CI Identification or Pattern available for this class. so does it means that there is configuration available for Converged infrastructure class and Discovery will not create CIs in this class?

Thanks

Hello @M Sindhu 

Below is detailed documentation of how you can ran a discovery on ESX server.

Link : https://docs.servicenow.com/en-US/bundle/vancouver-it-operations-management/page/product/discovery/r...

Moreover, when the discovery is completed you will check the logs to find which pattern runs.

I checked my instance the Converged Infrastructure comes under hardware class and has child as IOT class.

But in your case it does not mean it will not create CI, when you run discovery, the classifiers will definitely find some running process and matching criteria to run a probes and pattern to gather ci information.

Please go ahead and keep the result posted.

Please mark helpful, if you find my answer useful.

Thanks and Regards,

Anmol

Here is more Insight on cmdb_ci_converged_infra CI Class. It used for "Devices that serve both computing and networking functions."

I can see Identification rule for This Class . Its inherited from Hardware CI Class.

IoT Ci classes comes with Extended Class .

IOT Device discovery - No Pattern i see as of now . Using System OID it can be discovered.

As i see this Converged Class has not much to do with ESX Class.

Hi Sindhu,
Are able to discover them, If yes what are prerequires are required to discovered them.
