Resolution

How do I import the polling and threshold settings from one Smarts IP domain to another Smarts IP domain?
 

To import your polling and threshold settings from one Smarts IP domain to another, do the following:

1. Export the settings you want with the following command:
   
   <BASEDIR>/IP/smarts/bin/sm_adapter.exe -s <Original IP Domain> <BASE DIR>/IP/smarts/rules/utils/ic_dumpSettings.asl > <BASE DIR>/IP/smarts/local/conf/icf/settings-dump.conf
   
    
2. Import the settings from the settings-dump.conf file created in the preceding step into your new Smarts IP domain with the following command:
   
   <BASEDIR>/IP/smarts/bin/dmctl -s <IP Domain> invoke ICF_PolicyManager::ICF-PolicyManager loadSettings <BASE DIR>/IP/smarts/local/conf/icf/settings-dump.conf
   
    
3. Apply these changes to the new Smarts IP domain, reconfiguring it with the following command:
   
   <BASEDIR>/smarts/bin/dmctl -s <IP Domain> invoke ICF_PolicyManager::ICF-PolicyManager reconfigure
   
    
4. Confirm that the configuration settings moved over successfully to the new Smarts IP domain and that the changes have taken affect. If you do not see the changes taking effect on devices, but you see the new groups created, then the domain reconfigure operation in the preceding step did not succeed.
