Issuing the dmctl command to modify configuration parameters

You can use the following dmctl command to view the value of any basic-type attribute (string, boolean, integer, float, and so on) of any VMware Smart Assurance object:

         dmctl -s <
            VMware Smart Assurance
         
          application name> get <class>::<instance>::<attribute>

You can use the following dmctl command to change the value of any basic-type attribute (string, boolean, integer, float, and so on) of any VMware Smart Assurance object:

         dmctl -s <
            VMware Smart Assurance
         
          application name> put <class>::<instance>::<attribute> <attribute_value>

For the Topology Split Manager, as an example, you could use the dmctl put command to change attribute values for the ICF_TopologyManager object or the TopoSplit_Manager object.

Upon issuing a dmctl command, you might be prompted for a username and password. Respond with your user account. For example, to specify the default administrative account, enter username admin and password changeme.

The dmctl utility is described in the HTML pages that are located in the TSM_BASEDIR or BASEDIR/smarts/doc/html/usage directory of any VMware Smart Assurance product installation area.
