Issue/Introduction

We are using the Modeling Gateway to export devices using CMDB, however when we check the CMDB export output we are seeing devices missing such as Model-type : EfficientIPDev.

 

How can we ensure that these devices get exported properly via Modeling Gateway using CMDB export option.

Environment

Spectrum: ANY

Cause

The Model Class for EfficientIPDev is missing in the $SPECROOT/SS-Tools/.cmdbresource.xml file.

Resolution

To add EfficientIPDev model type or any other missing models, please check the device modeled in Spectrum attribute tab, model class attribute. For example the model class for EfficientIPDev is Server (133).

 

Please open the `$SPECROOT/SS-Tools/.cmdbresource.xml` file and add the following line for ModelClass 133
 

 <CMDBClassMapping>
   <CMDBClass family="Hardware" class="Other Operating System"/>
   <SPECTRUMModelClass>9</SPECTRUMModelClass> <!-- Workstation-Server -->
   <SPECTRUMModelClass>113</SPECTRUMModelClass> <!-- File Server -->
   <SPECTRUMModelClass>133</SPECTRUMModelClass> <!-- Server -->
 </CMDBClassMapping>

 

 

Save and rerun the Modeling Gateway export with CMDB option, you should now see the missing EfficientIPDev devices in the export.
