Data ONTAP MetroCluster: Discovery Rule

DataONTAP.MetroCluster.Discovery.Rule (Rule)

This is the discovery rule for all MetroCluster pairs. Only controllers which have been previously discovered via the Data ONTAP management pack are considered.

This rule is disabled by default. You should choose which OpsMgr management server will monitor your MetroClusters and then enable this rule via an override on that management server. If you will be using the MetroCluster TieBreaker service, you must run the service on the same management server. Furthermore, the management server should be located at a third site so that it is insulated from any environmental conditions that may affect MetroCluster operation. The management server may or may not be the root management server for your Operation Manager management group.

Operations Manager best practices recommend you create a dedicated management pack specifically for containing overrides and other customizations for each sealed management pack you import.
