In the part 3 of the Fedora Core 4 discovery pack I will explain the creation of the discovery management pack in detail.
Creating the new MP for Discovery:
- Open the Authoring Console (please use the newest on. I have used 6.1.7221.49)
- File –> New and enter the required values
- File –> Management Pack Properties
- Select the tab References –> Add Reference
- Add Reference to Microsoft.Linux.RHEL.4, change the alias to RHEL4 (it’s shorter and easier to use) and a reference to the Microsoft.Unix.Library with the alias Unix. Your reference tab should look like the picture 1 (the picture has another reference to linux but this will be added automaticly with the discovery)
- Switch to Health Model, select Discovery
- new Custom Discovery, name Technidata.Fedora.4.Computer.Discovery
- Target: Microsoft.Linux.RedHat.Computer
- Discovered Classes: Add class Microsoft.Linux.RHEL.4.Computer
- Configuration: Browse… and select: Microsoft.Unix.WSMan.TimedEnumerate.Filtered.MatchesRegularExpression.DiscoveryData and add a module id like discovery
- Press Edit and enter the xml from part 2 into the editor: replace the text between Configuration> and </Configuration> with the XML text <TargetSystem>[…]</InstanceSettings>
- Close the editor
- your discovery tab should look like picture 2
- Do the same with the second xml from part 2
- Your discovery pack is ready to be imported into your test SCOM environment.
