Specifying a different
IP Availability Manager
source

You can specify a different
IP Availability Manager
source for the
MPLS Topology Server
by performing the following two steps:
  1. In the mpls.conf file, replace the
    IP Availability Manager
    entry with the new entry.
  2. Stop the
    MPLS Topology Server
    , the
    MPLS Monitoring Server
    , and the
    MPLS Analysis Server
    and 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 current
    IP Availability Manager
    source.
    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.
