Resolution
Use manage and unmanage object methods to set the attribute. The IsManaged property of an object is read only and cannot be set.
To manage or unmanage a device using ASL, the object's methods manage() and unmanage() should be used. These methods will set IsManaged correctly.
In general, errors of the form SVIF-MR-E-Attempted to call access method which is not available for given Attribute indicate the attribute is read only and you should check the methods available for the class using dmctl getOperations.
Here is an example of managing and unmanaging a device from the command line:
<BASEDIR>/IP/smarts/bin/dmctl -s DM_NAME invoke Router::sl-gesex-4-0.sprintlink.net unmanage
<BASEDIR>/IP/smarts/bin/dmctl -s DM_NAME invoke Router::sl-gesex-4-0.sprintlink.net manage
