To configure a Standby Adapter Platform:

  1. Disable topology synchronization in the Standby location so that the Standby Adapter Platform does not synchronize with the underlying Domain Managers while the Domain Managers are still starting up.
  2. In the installation area where the Standby Adapter Platform is running, Go to the BASEDIR/smarts/bin directory and open the bootend.conf file:
    ./sm_edit conf/icoi/bootend.conf
  3. Change the value of suspendTopologyManager to TRUE.
    Note: The value of suspendTopologyManager is FALSE by default.
  4. Save the file and exit.
  5. Install the service for the Standby Adapter Platform as outlined in “Configure Active Adapter Platform” on page 27.
  6. Start the service in “Start the services for SAM, Adapter Platform, and BIM” on page 27.

    At this point, additional manual configuration is no longer required.

    • Later, after you modify the failover.conf file and run the sm_configureFailover.pl script, the script automatically creates all necessary subscriptions to the counterparts.

    • Later, when you run the manual backup, the Failover Manager adds the underlying source Domain Managers from the Active location to the Standby location.
