What triggers a topology save (rps file) in Smarts IP Availability and Performance Manager Server?



A Repository file gets saved under the following conditions:

• After any type of discovery is finished, either from a rediscover, add agent, seedfile, or pending discovery
• After executing a graceful shutdown of the Domain Manager, either using services or dmquit command: <BASEDIR>/smarts/bin/dmquit -s <servername>
• A topology save command is manually executed as follows:  <BASEDIR>/IP/smarts/bin/sm_tpmgr -s <server name> --save
• Autosave (rps files are autosaved every 6 hours). To change the autosave time setting, see 7078 .
