Background
A finding of Yale's pilot of Discovery is that a CMDB project needs to be created, and that the resulting database will have to be integrated with multiple authoritative sources, requiring new integration code to be written.
...
As a result of these findings, it will be necessary for Fruition to estimate additional work for the related integrations and scripting.
Scope
- Implement a CMDB ACLs scheme to support ownership of CMDB data by the appropriate departements/groups.
- Port a subset of SSH discovery probes to SNMP for UNIX server discovery. This would be in support of two separate UNIX groups using the same CMDB schema.
- Custom integrations to existing CMDB repositories
- Changes to stock integrations (e.g. SCCM) to support desired set of fields, custom fields
Out of Scope
- mobile devices
- firewall configuration data
- manual CIs, manual relationships (some provider, business services)
Yale Inputs
CMDB Field Matrix
- Data center equipment (racks, UPS, HVAC, server rooms, PDUs, etc)
- UNIX servers
- Storage devices (SAN, NAS)
- Windows servers
- Network devices (switch, router, concentrators, access points)
- Software assets
- Database assets
- Desktop assets
Datasource Specs
- Spec for one-time import of data from Aperture (data center) ODBC source
- Spec of SNMP OIDs and output formats for each required SNMP UNIX probe/sensor pair w/ CMDB schema mapping
- Spec of SNMP OIDs and output formats for each required storage probe/sensor pair w/ CMDB schema mapping
- Spec for additional CMDB mappings for SCCM Windows Server integration
- (ODBC, SOAP or XML) schema for NetMRI w/ CMDB schema mapping
- Spec for (one-time, many-time) import of data from SSG (software catalog) QuickBase source
- Spec for one-time import of data from Yhoda (DBA) ODBC source
- XML schema for Tivoli desktop asset integration w/ CMDB schema mapping
Fruition Output
Done? | Yale Input Available? | Deliverable | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| | Aperture Import Set | a working import set for data center assets sourced from existing repo. CMDB will replace old repo. |
| | UNIX SNMP Probes | working set of SNMP probes and sensors for UNIX Server CIs |
| | Storage SNMP Probes | working set of SNMP probes and sensors for Storage CIs |
| | SCCM Integration | working, scheduled SCCM integration matching the provided spec |
| | NetMRI Integration | TBD--we don't know how this will work yet |
| | SSG QuickBase Integration | TBD--we don't know how this will work yet |
| | Yhoda Import Set | a working import set for database assets sourced from existing repo. CMDB will replace old repo. |
| | Tivoli Integration | working, scheduled integration for desktop assets sourced from XML version of Tivoli Endpoint data. |
