Disabling VMware Smart Assurance NOTIF

The
VMware Smart Assurance
NOTIF application cannot be uninstalled separately from SAM 9.2 because the
VMware Smart Assurance
NOTIF processor is included as part of the SAM 9.2 server application. However, you can disable
VMware Smart Assurance
NOTIF on an
Adapter Platform
/SAM server by performing the following steps:
  1. Launch the
    VMware Smart Assurance
    NOTIF Editor by selecting
    Start
    >
    Programs
    >
    InCharge
    >
    Smarts
    NOTIF Editor
    .
    You can also launch the editor by double-clicking the NotifGui.sh file (for UNIX systems) in the
    BASEDIR
    /smarts/notif/editor directory.
  2. Use the
    VMware Smart Assurance
    NOTIF Editor to connect to the running
    Adapter Platform
    or SAM server where you want to disable
    VMware Smart Assurance
    NOTIF . Select
    Remote
    >
    Edit a server's settings…
    and choose a server in the
    Connect to a Server
    dialog box.
  3. The
    Remote Server Settings
    dialog box appears showing the server's current settings. In the
    Remote Server Settings
    dialog box, clear the
    Activate
    >
    Smarts
    >
    NOTIF
    checkbox, and then click
    OK
    .
  4. Configure the SNMP Trap Adapter to use the default trap_mgr_parse.asl script instead of the Notif-trap_mgr_parse.asl script.
    For example:
    ./sm_trapd --name=TRAP-OI --server=INCHARGE-OI --config=icoi --port=9013 --model=sm_actions --output --rules=icoi-trapd/trap_mgr_parse.asl --daemon
  5. Configure the Syslog Adapter to use the default SysLog_mgr.asl script instead of the Notif-SysLog_mgr.asl script.
    For example:
    ./sm_adapter.exe --NTsErViCeNaMe=ic-syslog-adapter --name=SYSLOG-OI --server=INCHARGE-OI --tail=/var/log/syslog --model=sm_system --model=sm_actions --output icoi-syslog/SysLog_mgr.asl
  6. Restart the
    Adapter Platform
    /SAM server.
