VMware Smart Assurance - NCM

Resolution

By default we have pull after remedy enabled in NCM. You can check the setting with below steps:

1) Login to the Jminix Console.
Open a browser.
Navigate to the following address: https://<AS-IP>:8880/ncm-webapp, replacing AS-serverip.
Type the username and password for the Jminix Console. The default username is jmx-user and the default password is sysadmin.


2) Go to servers > 0 > domains > com.powerup.configmgr.server.config.jmx > mbeans > name=VoyenceControlConfig,type=JMXSystemConfig > operations > listAll > execute

(or) Click below link, replacing AS-IP:
https://<AS-IP>:8880/ncm-webapp/jmx/servers/0/domains/com.powerup.configmgr.server.config.jmx/mbeans/name%3DVoyenceControlConfig%2Ctype%3DJMXSystemConfig/operations/listAll%28%29/


Search for "pullafterremedy"

Below is the list by default, which says pull configs is enabled after remedy:
<td>config.server</td>
<td>com.powerup.configmgr.server.services.scheduler.pullafterremedy</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td>PULL_CONFIGS</td>
<td>YES</td>


3) To disable the same, follow below steps:

    a) Go to servers > 0 > domains > com.powerup.configmgr.server.config.jmx > mbeans > name=VoyenceControlConfig,type=JMXSystemConfig > operations
    b) Locate the setConfigItem() operation and provide the following values for the parameters:
         For parameter 1: config.server
         For parameter 2: Set the following: com.powerup.configmgr.server.services.scheduler.pullafterremedy
         For parameter 3: One of the following can be set: 
             NONE - A value of NONE indicates the default post operation will perform no pull. 
             PULL_CONFIGS - A value of PULL_CONFIGS indicates the default post operation will perform a pull of the configuration files. 
             PULL_ALL - A value of PULL_ALL indicates the default post operation will perform a pull of all known device information.

         Set it as NONE, if you don't want pull operation.
         Click Execute. 
Notice: This will temporarily change the value. If ncm-as service is restarted, the value will be restored to its default. 


4)To make the new value permanent:
Locate the saveAll() operation.
Click Execute.


5) To verify the setting after change, follow step 2.
