This option is used to change server settings on remote Adapter Platform/SAM servers. One of the settings you can change on a remote server is whether VMware Smart Assurance NOTIF is active on that server. The process for activating VMware Smart Assurance NOTIF on a remote server using the Edit a server’s settings... option is described in “Starting VMware Smart Assurance NOTIF” on page 66.
To change settings on a remote Adapter Platform/SAM server:
-
Select Remote > Edit a server's settings.
-
The Connect to a Server dialog box appears. Choose the remote server where you want to change server settings and click OK.
-
The Remote Server Settings dialog box appears that shows the server's current settings. The options you can change in this dialog are defined.

When you change server settings in the Remote Server Settings dialog box and click OK, the changes are saved to the Notif_Settings.import file that is generated and saved to the BASEDIR/smarts/local/conf/<icoi or ics> directory in the Adapter Platform or SAM server where VMware Smart Assurance NOTIF is running.
