Issue/Introduction

Symptoms:


How to load SAM configuration changes without restarting the server.
How to make changes in ics.conf effective.

Environment

VMware Smart Assurance - SMARTS

Resolution

From the command line, run the following command:
<basedir>/SAM/smarts/bin/sm_adapter -s <global_manager> ics/ICS_RemoteConfig.asl

 

Information on this command can be found in <basedir>/SAM/smarts/doc/pdf/sm_config.pdf.  Section on "Reconfiguring the Global Manager"

Additional Information

There must be a change in ics.conf in order for Remote Config to take affect.  if ics.conf is not modified, running Remote Config will not make any change either.

A quick change can be changing SmoothingInterval from 65 to 64.

Example:

<BASEDIR>/SAM/smarts/bin/sm_edit conf/ics/ics.conf

 

Change: SmothingInterval = 65;

to: SmoothingInterval = 64;
