Synchronizing controllers
SDNM provides the synchronization function to obtain the latest information about all OpenFlow
switches and OpenFlow instances from each controller.
SDNM supports the following types of synchronization:
•
Automatic—Synchronization is automatically triggered by regular polling of IMC. By default, the
synchronization interval is 2 hours. For more information about configuring the synchronization
interval for automatic synchronization, see HP Intelligent Management Center v7.0 Enterprise and
Standard Platform Administrator Guide.
•
Manual—Synchronization is manually triggered by an operator at any time.
To synchronize controllers manually:

Click Synchronize.

Click Refresh to view the synchronization results.
