Purpose of Genome tab in the Genome properties

dear All.

Natural curiosity forcing me to ask dear All about the purpose of Genome tab in the Genome properties.

Thanks

Hi Nick,

One of the great features of DCO with IT Optimize is the ability to automatically turn a device discovered on the network into a full asset model that has physical dimensions, power to performance modeling and a number of other properties.

When ITO discovers a device, the device is interrogated and an ID is created describing the systems unique configuration. This Genome ID is used to match the discovered device to a genome in the genome library.

The dialog in your picture shows the list of IDs that matches the selected genome type.

As you have picked a generic genome type the list is empty.

The ID to Genome mappings ship with DCO and works out of the box; it is not something that most users/organizations should ever have to modify. 

If your organization deploys special configurations or types of IT hardware that are not available on the general market, adding the right Genome Ids to your custom Genome collection can enable this advanced network discovery based classification for your equipment.

Thanks Mikkel. And where these IDs (gxdgld) for the specific mapping could be discovered in DCO ?

Hi Nick,

To see the Genome Id of a discovered device, simply look for the device in the list of unassociated devices under a ITO server, then right click the device and select properties.

Or: You can also look for the device in the discovered devices list  

Or: If the device is already associated with an object in the model - the information is available in the properties under external system.
