Specifying a different Global Manager source

You can specify a different
Global Manager
source for
Business Impact Manager
by performing the following two steps:
  1. Remove the current
    Global Manager
    source by stopping the
    Business Impact Manager
    and then restarting it with a startup command line that contains the
    --norestore
    option.
  2. Add a new
    Global Manager
    source by completing the procedure in “Adding the Global Manager as a topology source” on page 96.
    Including the
    --norestore
    option in the startup command line will start
    Business Impact Manager
    without restoring any saved objects from its repository file. (
    Business Impact Manager
    repository files are located in the
    BASEDIR
    /smarts/local/repos/icf directory.) This mode of startup is necessary to delete from the repository the topology elements associated with the
    Global Manager
    source that is targeted for source removal.
    Because the
    Business Impact Manager
    startup command created during the
    Service Assurance Manager
    installation does not contain the
    --norestore
    option, you will need to either temporarily modify the
    Business Impact Manager
    startup command (substitute
    --ignore-restore-errors
    with
    --norestore
    ) or create a new service startup command or a new native startup command that contains the
    --norestore
    option.
