Devices deleted in a Smarts IP server are not deleted from SAM

Products

• VMware

Issue/Introduction

Symptoms:




Deleting a device in IP suite does not cause the device to be deleted from SAM suite topology
SAM suite topology is not accurate

Environment

VMware Smart Assurance - SMARTS

Cause

There is no two-way communication between IP and SAM.

Resolution

A topology sync is only initiated after a discovery.  You have to discover/rediscover at least one device for deleted devices to be updated in the SAM topology.  Alternatively, you can force SAM and AM to synchronize using the following command: 

<basedir>/SAM/smarts/bin/dmctl -s <sam_server> invoke GA_DaemonDriver::<am_server>_Topo-Driver start
