Managing the HAFM application

• These two values are controlled by two VMParameters residing in the

bin\HAFMService.ini

file when the application is running as a Windows service:

smp.snmp.timeout and smp.snmp.retries. For example, specifying

-Dsmp.snmp.timeout=5

” and “

-Dsmp.snmp.retries=1

” instructs the server to

use five seconds as the SNMP timeout and one retry as the retry count.

NOTE:

The higher the values, the longer discovery will spend waiting for a SNMP response. This

translates to slower system performance.

• Restart the server.

Access that the application uses to perform discovery, communication functions, and password
