Environment Details: Main pollers and Additional pollers are in different domain without any communication between domains.
Normal WorkFlow: A network share or path which needs to be accessible from all the pollers (Main & Additional). A domain user account which must have read-write access to network share and should also be allowed to logon locally on all the servers. For this design to work two domains should have trust relationship between them.
The main poller runs the scan of Firmware repository to detect the binary images and then additional poller uses the same repository to push the images to devices.
Why Normal Workflow can’t be used:
- The two domains are not communicating to each other as both are managed by different stakeholders .
- The network share is in domain A (where additional pollers reside) and AD account in domain A will have access to it. Assuming, the main pollers are in domain B, they will not be able to access the network share using same credentials.
What is required:
- If we are not using Main poller for active doing polling of network devices, a functionality is required so that we can skip certain pollers like main poller in this case from participating in firmware upgrade.
- In case of shared setup where multiple customers will report to same main poller. How this functionality going to work?
