| RE: [cosmos-dev] question on management domain and brokers |

Hmmm. Well, if we can assume that the MD
and the DBs are somehow reflected in the CMDB, then
we can make the CMDB identities part of the handshake protocol. Then we can
place the responsibility squarely in the MD’s lap (which it can shovel
off to the CMDB for sophisticated deployments) and well can get as wacky as we
like in the CMDB for modeling things like fail-over, etc. of our
infrastructure. That also means we can reuse the sml editor (and whatever it becomes) as our configuration
editor. GUI jujitsu. ;-) Cheers, Joel The contents of this e-mail are intended for the named addressee only. It contains information that may be confidential.

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... From:
cosmos-dev-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:cosmos-dev-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Hawkins, Joel 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
