What Are the DMI Schema Requirements for Working on Network Director?
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. The newer schemas describe the new features available with 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.
In most installations, Junos Space automatically matches DMI schemas with device families. But there might be certain situations where your network uses a device for which Junos Space does not have the latest or a supported schema available. In such instances, you must obtain and upload the required schema and set it as the default DMI schema for each device family. Setting the default DMI schema for each device family enables Junos Space to apply the appropriate schema to each device family.
Table 1 lists the latest DMI schemas that you must obtain and upload in Junos Space before you start working on Network Director or Network Director API Release 1.5:
