Uploading DMI Schemas

 

Each device type is described by a unique data model (DM) that contains all the configuration data for it. The DMI schema lists all the possible fields and attributes for a type of device. A newer schema describes the new features provided in recent device releases. It is important that you load all your device schemas into Junos Space Network Management Platform; otherwise only a default schema will be applied when you try to edit a device configuration by using the device configuration edit action in the Devices workspace.

If you cannot find the schema equivalent, use the latest schema from the main release or contact the Juniper Support. We recommend that you use the JUNOS 14.2R2.8 schema for Connectivity Services Director Release 5.3R1.

If you cannot find an appropriate schema for your device model, contact Juniper Networks representative.

To install or update a DMI schema on Junos Space:

  1. From the Network Application Platform, navigate to Administration > Manage DMI Schemas > Update Schema.

    The Update Schema page appears.

    To add or update a DMI schema, you must have the .tgz archive files containing the schema on the machine running the Junos Space GUI. There are several ways of acquiring such files. You can:

    • Download files from Juniper’s SVN Repository.

    • Obtain files from Juniper Support staff.

    • Create your own files.

    For detailed steps on acquiring and uploading the schema files, see Junos Space Documentation or Managing DMI Schemas Overview.

  2. After uploading the schema, select the schema and click Install.

    The Manage DMI Schemas inventory landing page appears, displaying the newly installed schema. The Manage DMI Schemas page displays data in a table that has the following columns:

    • Device Family

    • OS Version

    • Device Series

    • State—Indicates whether the schema is default or not. An empty cell in this column means that the DMI schema in that row is not the default.

      In the thumbnail view, this information is displayed on each thumbnail.

  3. In the tabular view, select the row that contains the appropriate combination of device family, OS version, and device series, and mouse over Actions to select Set Default Schema.

    In the thumbnail view, select the appropriate thumbnail and perform the same action.

    The Set Default DMI Schema dialog box opens, displaying the DMI schema name, device family, and OS version.

  4. Click Set Default.

    The word Default appears in the State column for the selected schema. In the thumbnail view, the default status is indicated by an orange-colored asterisk on the icon for a DMI schema, and the word Default below the OS version.
