How to reduce model activation time during SpectroSERVER startup

Products

• Spectrum
• Network Observability

Issue/Introduction

The time required for model activation to complete can be increased if there are a high number of SPM tests being run.

SPM tests start running before model activation can complete resulting in the RTM_Inventory model taking a long time to activate.

Environment

DX NetOps Spectrum all currently supported releases

Resolution

If there are a high number of SPM test being run the modification below is recommended to reduce the startup time:

1. In the .vnmrc file located in the $SPECROOT/SS directory, add the following line:
   
   spm_wait_activate=yes



2. Restart the SpectroSERVER
   
   

This will prevent SPM from performing external reads until the SpectroSERVER is activated.
