Configure Service Assurance Manager, Adapter Platform, and BIM in the failover.conf file.

  1. In the installation area where the Failover Manager is running, go to the BASEDIR/smarts/bin directory and type the following command to open the failover.conf file: 

                   ./sm_edit /conf/failover/failover.conf

  2. Under the Server section, add SAM, Adapter Platform, and BIM details with Server Type as SAM, OI, and BIM, respectively. For example:

    SAM: 

    Server
    {
   DetachInterval = 300;
    Name = "INCHARGE-SA";
   ServerType     = "SAM";
        LocationA
        {
            HostName   = "itops-tco-217.lss.emc.com";
            PortNumber = 1751;
            Basedir    = "/opt/InCharge/SAM/smarts";
    }
        LocationB
        {
            HostName   = "itops-tco-223.lss.emc.com";
            PortNumber = 1751;
            Basedir    = "/opt/InCharge/SAM/smarts";
   }
    }
Server
    {
   DetachInterval = 300;
    Name = "INCHARGE-SA-PRES";
   ServerType     = "SAM";
UIServices = "smarts-tomcat,smarts-rabbitmq,smarts-elasticsearch";
        LocationA
        {
            HostName   = "itops-tco-217.lss.emc.com";
            PortNumber = 1751;
            Basedir    = "/opt/InCharge/SAM/smarts";
    }
        LocationB
        {
            HostName   = "itops-tco-223.lss.emc.com";
            PortNumber = 1751;
            Basedir    = "/opt/InCharge/SAM/smarts";
   }
    }
Server
    {
        DetachInterval = 300;
        Name           = "INCHARGE-OI";
        ServerType     = "OI";
        LocationA
        {
            HostName   = "smartslin02.svtdomain.us.dg.com";
            PortNumber = 11308;
            Basedir    = "/opt/InCharge/SAM/smarts";
    }
        LocationB
        {
            HostName   = "smartslin04.svtdomain.us.dg.com";
            PortNumber = 11308;
            Basedir    = "/opt/InCharge/SAM/smarts";
   }
     }
Server
    {
  DetachInterval = 300;
  Name           = "INCHARGE-MBIM";
  ServerType     = "BIM";
          LocationA
        {
            HostName   = "itops-tco-217.lss.emc.com";
            PortNumber = 1752;
            Basedir    = "/opt/InCharge/SAM/smarts";
   }
        LocationB
        {
            HostName   = "itops-tco-223.lss.emc.com";
            PortNumber = 1752;
            Basedir    = "/opt/InCharge/SAM/smarts";
   }
    }

  3. Save the failover.conf file and exit.

    Note:

    If you configure SAM for failover while the Failover Manager is already running, use the ic-failover-server script reload option to reload the failover.conf file and use the Reconfigure button in the Domain Manager Administration Console to reconfigure the Failover Manager.
