Currently, the underlying software does not automatically create the default group objects of the “Problem Impact propagation policy over VLANs” setting, which means that the group category “VLAN Impact Propagation Groups” does not automatically appear on the Thresholds tab of a Polling and Thresholds Console that is attached to a IP Manager. Instead, a user must issue an sm_adapter command to manually create the VLAN impact propagation group objects. Once created, the group objects are available every time that the IP Manager is restarted.

To create the default group objects of the "Problem Impact propagation policy over VLANs" setting:

  1. Go to the BASEDIR/smarts/bin directory in the IP Manager installation area and type the following command on one line and then press Enter. 

                   sm_adapter -s <
                  IP Manager
               
                instance name 
               
                  instance name> -f <full path to conf/discovery/settings.conf file
               >
               
               
                     icf/init-settings.asl
