Symptoms
How to change default number of community strings (default is set to 4)
Resolution
This can be accomplished manually or automatically. Manual change: This limit can be set by changing the value of MaximumCommunities in the file IP_BASEDIR/smarts/conf/discovery/discovery.conf. The last lines are as follows: # The maximum number of Read-Only community strings that can be specified. # This value can be changed to address networks which have more that 4 # different values for the Read-Only community string. MaximumCommunities = 4Modifying this file requires a restart of the server for the change to take effect. Automatic change: Execute the following: IP_BASEDIR/smarts/bin/dmctl -s <DMname> put ICF_TopologyManager::ICF-ToplogyManager::MaximumCommunities <#>For example, a domain manager named INCHARGE with a set # of community strings equal to 9: IP_BASEDIR/smarts/bin/dmctl -s INCHARGE put ICF_TopologyManager::ICF-ToplogyManager::MaximumCommunities 9This change is immediate and does not require a restart the server. This change will only last until the server is restarted.
