Example of a procedure to replace an IP Availability Manager source

To replace an IP Availability Manager source named INCHARGE-AM with one named EAST-AM1:

1. Go to the BASEDIR/smarts/bin directory in the VoIP Availability Manager installation area and issue the following command to open the domain.conf file:

                  sm_edit conf/voip/domain.conf
               

2. Find the following five lines:

   InChargeDomain::InChargeDomain_INCHARGE-AM
   {
       Type       = “AM”
       DomainName = “INCHARGE-AM”
   }
   

3. Change the two instances of INCHARGE-AM to EAST-AM1:

   InChargeDomain::InChargeDomain_EAST-AM1
   {
       Type       = “AM”
       DomainName = “EAST-AM1”
   }
   

4. Save and close the file. The modified version of the domain.conf file is saved to the BASEDIR/smarts/local/conf/voip directory.

5. Issue the following command from BASEDIR/smarts/bin to stop VoIP Availability Manager:

                  sm_service stop ic-voip-server --force
               

6. Issue the following command from BASEDIR/smarts/bin to start VoIP Availability Manager:

                  sm_service start ic-voip-server --force
               

   At startup, VoIP Availability Manager responds by:

   • Reading the domain.conf file.

   • Saving the configuration information in its repository.

   • Removing all device objects and their containment objects previously imported from INCHARGE-AM.

   • Importing all device objects—or just those in the VoIP topology collection set—and their containment objects from EAST-AM1 and adding the objects to its repository.
