Can I reconfigure Smarts SAM by disabling and enabling the underlying server?




Reconfiguring Smarts SAM by disabling and enabling the underlying server is not recommended.

1. Stop the hypernotif driver (if both PRES and AGG SAMs are above v8.0) OR NL driver (if AGG SAM is below v8.0) using dmctl command.

dmctl -s <SAM server> invoke GA_DaemonDriver::<underlying hypernotif driver> stop

dmctl -s <SAM server> invoke GA_DaemonDriver::<underlying NL driver> stop

2. Start the hypernotif driver (if both PRES and AGG SAMs are above v8.0) OR NL driver (if AGG SAM is below v8.0) using dmctl command.

dmctl -s <SAM server> invoke GA_DaemonDriver::<underlying hypernotif driver> start

dmctl -s <SAM server> invoke GA_DaemonDriver::<underlying NL driver> start

3. You can also reconfigure the SAM using the Global Manager Console by changing the smoothing interval and clicking the reconfigure option.
