How do I use the Smarts IP discovery Debug Tool?
What does the Smarts IP discovery Debug Tool do?




The Smarts IP Debug Tool script will enable debug and gather log files automatically for a given device or seedfile. The following flags will be set on the server:

ICF_TopologyManager::DebugEnabled

ICF_TopologyManager::LogDiscoveryProgress

ICF_TopologyManager parameter DebugReconfigure

ICF_TopologyManager parameter NameResolveDebug

Once discovery is complete, the debug flags will then be set back to FALSE.

The following data can be gathered:

<ip>.snap, <ip>.mimic, <ip>.walk, domain rps file and domain log

Using the Smarts IP discovery Debug Tool

1. Contact EMC Customer Support Services (CSS) for Smarts IP to obtain the required files for Discovery debug tool:
    
2. • Ic-file-importer.asl
   • sm_dscvdebug.pl
     
      
3. Copy ic-file-importer.asl into <SM_HOME>/IP/smarts/local/rules/discovery. 
    
4. • This is to support discovery via seedfile only
     
      
5. Copy sm_dscvdebug.pl into <SM_HOME>/IP/smarts/bin
   
   Usage: sm_dscvdebug -s <server> -b <broker> [options]
   
   * -s - Name of InCharge Server
   
   Options:
   
   -b - Broker to use
   
   -d - Specify devices
   
   -f - Specify Seedfile
   
   -r - Roll the server log
   
   -h - Displays this usage
   
   -v - version
   
    
6. To run the debug tool:
