    Configuring IT Optimize server integration

    Configure user credentials to allow Data Center Operation to communicate with the IT Optimize server and receive device data and alarms.

    It is possible to integrate with multiple IT Optimize servers.

    1. Set up the server connection in Data Center Operation.

      1. Select System Setup > External System Configuration.
      2. Click Add server, and select IT Optimize server as the server type.
      3. Type the IT Optimize server information, host name and IP address.

    2. Click Test to test the connection.

    The Polling interval option setting is relevant for data on the IT Optimize server only. It defines how often the IT Optimize server requests CPU utilization data from the devices.

    There is no setting defining how often DCO requests data from the  IT Optimize server. These are predefined: power and CPU utilization data every 10 seconds, and new or changes to devices every 60 seconds.

    Workaround for ITO prevented from discovering the DCO server

    WARNING: This operation will reduce security on the Data Center Operation server.

    On the DCO server, to work around the security restrictions preventing ITO discovery:

    1. Log on to the server with an SSH client.
      For example, use PuTTY. You can download it from here.

    2. Type the command sudo sed -i -e "s/^#%sudo/%sudo/g" /etc/sudoers.d/itodiscovery and press Enter.

    If you are running a cluster, perform the above steps on all nodes.

    If you reinstall or upgrade the server, you must perform the above procedure again.
