By default, edge management is disabled.

You can edit the tsm.conf file and enable this feature. The lines to be edited are:

NumberOfDomains = 1
# EnableAutoEdgeManagement = TRUE
# IsTopoSyncEnabled = TRUE
# IsTrialLearningEnabled = FALSE

To enable edge management:

  1. Go to the TSM_BASEDIR/smarts/bin directory and enter the following command to open the tsm.conf file:

                   sm_edit conf/discovery/topo-split/tsm.conf
                
  2. Find the following lines:

    NumberOfDomains = 1
    # EnableAutoEdgeManagement = TRUE
    # IsTopoSyncEnabled = TRUE
    # IsTrialLearningEnabled = FALSE
    
  3. Make the following edits to the four parameters:

    NumberOfDomains = <number of domains into which to split the topology>
    EnableAutoEdgeManagement = TRUE
    IsTopoSyncEnabled = TRUE
    IsTrialLearningEnabled = FALSE
    
  4. Save and close the file.

    The modified version of the tsm.conf file is saved to the TSM_BASEDIR/smarts/local/conf/discovery/topo-split directory.

    Or, as an alternative to the preceding procedure, and assuming that the four parameters are commented-out in the tsm.conf file, use the dmctl utility to set these parameters. Go to the TSM_BASEDIR/smarts/bin directory and issue the following commands:

                   dmctl -s
                   <TSM name>
                   put TopoSplit_Manager::TopoSplit-Manager::NumberOfDomains
                   
       <number of domains into which to split the topology>
                   dmctl -s
                   <TSM name>
                   put TopoSplit_Manager::TopoSplit-Manager::EnableAutoEdgeManagement TRUE
                   dmctl -s
                   <TSM name>
                   put TopoSplit_Manager::TopoSplit-Manager::IsTopoSyncEnabled TRUE
                   dmctl -s
                   <TSM name>
                   put TopoSplit_Manager::TopoSplit-Manager::IsTrialLearningEnabled FALSE
