Manual change:
This limit can be set by changing the value of MaximumCommunities in the file IP_BASEDIR/smarts/conf/discovery/discovery.conf. The last lines are as follows:
# The maximum number of Read-Only community strings that can be specified.
# This value can be changed to address networks which have more that 4
# different values for the Read-Only community string.
MaximumCommunities = 4
Modifying this file requires a restart of the server for the change to take effect.
Automatic change:
Execute the following:
IP_BASEDIR/smarts/bin/dmctl -s <DMname> put
ICF_TopologyManager::ICF-ToplogyManager::MaximumCommunities <#>
For example, a domain manager named INCHARGE with a set # of community strings equal to 9:
IP_BASEDIR/smarts/bin/dmctl -s INCHARGE put
ICF_TopologyManager::ICF-ToplogyManager::MaximumCommunities 9
This change is immediate and does not require a restart the server. This change will only last until the server is restarted.
