Manage RPS file
settings across multiple installations
The method of extracting the configuration settings from an RPS file
into the deployment package varies between SAM and IP Managers.
For SAM, use the deployment utility to extract the configuration
settings from the RPS file.
Go to the <BASEDIR>/smarts/bin folder of your target installation,
and type the following command:
./sm_perl sm_deploy.pl --install=<BASEDIR>/smarts --create=<archive-name.tar> --broker=<host:port> --server=<SAM_server>
This can be a convenient way to deploy the configurations of aggregate
SAM domain since they often share the same configuration.
For IP, use the
sm_settings.pl
script of the
IP-Configuration Manager
tool to export the Polling and Threshold groups from an existing
domain and import them into the IP-Configuration Manager to be deployed further
on other domains.
For more information on loading settings into IP-Configuration Manager, refer to the
IP
Manager User Guide
. For Network Protocol Manager, MPLS Manager, and Server Manager, the
configuration settings from an RPS file must be manually configured in all
other installations of these products.
