Subject: RE: [mgmtprotocol] Oasis mngt use cases
Nikula, One of largest use cases, that comes from large enterprises and tier 1 ISP is to have their 'home grown' applications (scripts) talk directly to the routers/switches/firewalls. Is that represented in the use cases below ? thanks ken -----Original Message----- From: Nikula, Richard [mailto:Richard_Nikula@bmc.com] Sent: Monday, October 28, 2002 6:51 AM To: 'Karl Best' Cc: mgmtprotocol@lists.oasis-open.org Subject: [mgmtprotocol] Oasis mngt use cases Do the following make sense as possible use cases? This is just a starter set, I've only tried to address the scenario configurations, not necessarily what the management application wants to do. Definitions: * Objects - the manageable entities. * Managed Object - an abstraction of an object or objects exposed through a management interface. * Management Server - Provides the management interface to expose managed objects. * Management Application - an application that consumes managed objects (could include reporting, method invocation, and events) * Management Protocol - the OASIS management protocol Use cases: * Management application uses the management protocol to access managed objects via a single management server. * Management application uses the management protocol to access managed objects via multiple management servers of the same type, each managing a unique set of managed objects. * Management application uses the management protocol to access managed objects via multiple management servers of the same type, where some or all of the managed objects exist in multiple servers. * Management application uses the management protocol to access managed objects via multiple management servers of the different types, each managing a unique set of managed objects. * Management application uses the management protocol to access managed objects via multiple management servers of the different types, where some or all of the managed objects exist in multiple servers. * Object provider wants to provide objects via the management protocol without requiring a 3rd party management server (similar to SNMP) Regards Richard ---------------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe or unsubscribe from this elist use the subscription manager: <http://lists.oasis-open.org/ob/adm.pl>
