The Conﬁguration Management Process

About ECM Conﬁgurations

Enterprise Conﬁguration Manager allows you to create conﬁgurations in two

ways — either with templates or manually without templates. During both

processes ECM captures attribute values and instance IDs, if any, from the

selected device. The ECM capture process provides an efﬁcient way to

“populate” a conﬁguration, reducing the chances of human error. The user can

then modify attribute values and instance IDs when necessary. To manage the

network, you will want to create conﬁgurations both manually and with

templates, depending on the tasks you intend to perform with the

conﬁguration.

Enterprise Conﬁguration Manager allows you to create the following types of

conﬁgurations:

• Conﬁgurations that can be loaded to the device that you selected in

SpectroGRAPH or in the ECM Components dialog box or to other devices

of that type.

• Device speciﬁc conﬁgurations that are restricted to one device and cannot

be loaded to other devices. ECM displays device speciﬁc conﬁgurations

only in the Device Speciﬁc Conﬁgurations window. In this window, you can

see and manage all the device speciﬁc conﬁgurations for all the devices of

the same type as the selected device in the selected landscape.

• Multiple conﬁgurations that can be loaded sequentially to a single device.

You should create multiple conﬁgurations when you need to conﬁgure

certain attributes before conﬁguring others or when conﬁgurations are

very large.

• Shared conﬁgurations that can be loaded to multiple devices of the same

type. ECM displays shared conﬁgurations only in the Shared

Conﬁgurations window. In this window, you can see and manage all the

shared conﬁgurations for all the devices of the same type as the selected

device in the selected landscape.

Once you have created a conﬁguration, you can use the ECM Load and Verify

options. The Load option enables you to load the conﬁguration to the device

from which it was captured or to one or more devices of the same type. This is

how you conﬁgure new devices or reconﬁgure existing ones. The Verify option

enables you to verify whether a device’s attribute values match that of the

conﬁguration you created.
