Issue/Introduction

What is the effect of changing the hostname or IP address of the Alcatel-Lucent 5620 EMS SAM server on the Smarts Alcatel 5620 SAM Adapter (ASAM Adapter)

Environment

SMARTS - 10.1.x

Resolution

1. There will not be any impact of HostName change on ASAM Adapter ( 3.2.0.8) up to Alcatel-Lucent 5620 EMS SAM server R13.
2. If assigning a new IP address, the emsConfig.import file of the ASAM Adapter needs to be updated using sm_edit after which the ASAM Adapter needs to be restarted.
   
   Example:  We need to modify in emsConfig.import file in below section.
   
    EmsInstance = {
           {
               "#########",
               "####",
               "abcd",
               "###########"
           }
       } 
   
   Note:
      # EMS instance description block(s), add one block per EMS instance
       # Each block contain the following parameters, where the order of
       # the parameters is important:
       # - EMS IP          (where to find it -- must be an IP)
       # - EMS port        (which HTTP port to use)
       # - EMS account     (EMS Login account)
       # - EMS password    (EMS Login password)
