2. Find line:
   

   driver->writeln("NAMEORIP=".systemData->getNameOrAddr()."\t "

    
3. Change the line to the following:
   

   driver->writeln("NAMEORIP=".agentObj->AgentAddress."\t "

    
4. Open the topo-split-output-seeds.asl file in the following location using sm_edit:
   

   IP/smarts/bin/sm_edit rules/discovery/topo-split/topo-split-output-seeds.asl
