Joel,
I understood that there could be multiple DataBrokers(DB) too,
and multiple ServiceBrokers. (SB)
For that to work, it has to be the function of the ManagementDomain(MD)
to tell the requestor the name of the DatBroker(s) to use. As yet, I don’t
think it has been defined how that mechanism should work. Does the MD make
the decision as to what it tells the requestor, or does it give the requestor
all the DataBrokers and let the Requestor decide? I think it should be the
MD, as it is after all, the Manager. So How would the MD do this
? Perhaps there is always a default broker, and that is the one that is
sent back to the requestor, unless the MD accepts some parameter from the
requestor, that can influence the MD into giving the requestor back a
non-default broker.

Martin,
Does “the DataBroker” mean that DataBrokers follow the
Highlander model (there can only be one)? I thought we were going to support
multiple DataBrokers so that people could partition there monitoring
infrastructure in some user-defined hierarchy (preferably one that was
reflected in their CMDB).
Cheers,
Joel
