Specifying a different IP Availability Manager source
IP Availability Manager
sourceYou can specify a different
IP Availability Manager
source for the MPLS Topology Server
by performing
the following two steps:- In the mpls.conf file, replace theIP Availability Managerentry with the new entry.
- Stop theMPLS Topology Server, theMPLS Monitoring Server, and theMPLS Analysis Serverand then restart them with startup command lines that contain the--norestore option.Including the--norestore option in the startup command line will start the MPLS servers without restoring any saved objects from their respective repository files. Repository files are located in the BASEDIR/smarts/local/repos/icf directory. This mode of startup deletes from the repository the topology and instrumentation objects that are associated with the currentIP Availability Managersource.Because the MPLS service startup commands that are created during the installation do not contain the--norestore option, you will need to do one of the following:
- Temporarily modify the service startup commands by substituting--ignore-restore-errors with--norestore.
- Create new service startup commands or new native startup commands that contain the--norestore option.
