HP Universal Configuration Management Database (UCMDB)

( Duration: 5 Days )

The HP Universal Configuration Management Database (UCMDB) training course is designed to provide an understanding of the fundamental concepts and applications of the HP Universal Configuration Management Database (UCMDB). Participants learn visualization and mapping techniques to build business service views, implement change tracking, perform impact analysis and enrichment of topology data and reporting. This course also covers UCMDB Browser and UCMDB Configuration Manager, which provide different end-user perspectives to analyze and consume UCMDB data. The discussions and scenario-based exercises reinforce skills to optimize business outcomes through the efficient use of the HP UCMDB, UCMDB Configuration Manager and UCMDB Browser.

By attending HP Universal Configuration Management Database (UCMDB) workshop, Participants will learn to:

  • Define HP Universal Configuration Management Database (UCMDB) and the concepts of Configuration Items (CIs) and CI Types (CITs)
  • Identify the architecture, integrations, and system-level components of the HP UCMDB
  • Identify various enterprise deployment scenarios and configuration approaches
  • Identify the basic usage and configuration of UCMDB Configuration Manager (CM)
  • Design and build business service views and topology maps to solve business problems
  • Create perspective-based views and models using Modeling Studio
  • Define the concepts of Impact Analysis and be able to model cause and impact with Impact rules
  • Enhance and auto-populate HP UCMDB through the use of Enrichments

  • General knowledge of IT operations, familiarity with business services, and service management
  • Familiarity with the Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) V3 Foundations subject area and the Configuration Management System (CMS) in particular
  • Background in network or enterprise application administration and knowledge of enterprise architectures in a production IT infrastructure
