Automatically building data center topology maps
You can create nested maps up to four layers, which display the physical layout of the data centers in the
organization and have the racks automatically populated with the devices managed by IMC.
To automatically build Data Center Topology maps:
1.
Click the Resource tab from the tabular navigation system on the top.
2.
Click View Management on the navigation tree on the left.
3.
Click Network Topology under View Management from the navigation system on the left.
A new browser instance opens and an icon labeled Custom Topology displays in the main pane
of the page. A navigation system displays on the left.

pane can be navigated using the tabs located at the top of the main pane.
5.
Click the
icon in the topology map toolbar.
The Automatically Build a Data Center Topology dialog box appears. The dialog box includes an

•
Device Label: Contains the device name in IMC. By default, the device name is the sysName of the
device in IMC.
•
IP Address: Contains the IP address of the device.
•
Height (U): Contains the height of the device, in units.
•
Data Center: Contains the data center where the device is located.
•
Layer: Contains the layer where the device is located in the data center. A data center can contain
