Configuring light discovery (optional)
To configure a Multicast Manager deployment for light multicast discovery, set values
for the IP Availability Manager parameters described in the following table.
IP Availability Manager parameters
for multicast light discovery
Parameter | If set to FALSE | If set to TRUE |
|---|---|---|
DisableMulticastDiscovery | Availability Manager creates a multicast topology collection
set for import by the Multicast Manager | Availability Manager does not create a multicast topology
collection set. |
ProtocolInterfaceDisabledAlarm | IP Availability Manager makes Interface Disabled problems
available to the Multicast Manager, to be used by the Multicast
Manager in its cross-domain analysis. | IP Availability Manager hides Interface Disabled problems
from the Multicast Manager. Doing so inhibits the Multicast
Manager from sending Disabled problem notifications to the
Global Manager. |
For each source IP Availability
Manager:
- At the IP Availability Manager installation area, go to BASEDIR/smarts/bin, issue the following command:sm_edit ../conf/discovery/tpmgr-param.conf.
- Locate the following parameters and ensure that they are set to FALSE:DisableMulticastDiscovery FALSE ProtocolInterfaceDisabledAlarm FALSE
- Save and close the file.
- Restart the Availability Manager for your configuration changes to take effect.
- Restart the Multicast Manager, using the bootstrap-lite.conf file. Enter the following command on one line:Windows:▼C:\InCharge7\MCAST\smarts\bin\sm_server --name=<Multicast_server_name> --config=mcast --bootstrap=bootstrap-lite.conf --ignore-restore-errors --output▲▼▲ indicates that this command must be typed as one line.
