Hi, we are using 2 underlying SAM domains.
The following settings must be done.

copy the following directories:
/conf/ics (used for TopLevele SAM)
to /conf/icsu1 (used for underlying SAM 1)
to /conf/icsu2 (used for underlying SAM 2)
do the same for the /local/conf/ics directory

sm_service install:
sm_service install --force --unmanaged --startmode=manual \
'--name=TopLevelSAM' \
'--description=SMARTS Service Assurance Manager Server' \
'/opt/nme/incharge7/SAM/smarts/bin/sm_server' \
'--name=SAM' \
'--config=ics' \
'--ignore-restore-errors' \
'--model=sm_mplsvpn_sam' \
'--output'

sm_service install --force --unmanaged --startmode=manual \
'--name=underlyingSAM1' \
'--description=SMARTS Service Assurance Manager Server (underlying)' \
'/opt/nme/incharge7/SAM/smarts/bin/sm_server' \
'--name=SAMU1' \
'--config=icsu1' \
'--ignore-restore-errors' \
'--model=sm_mplsvpn_sam' \
'--output'

and the same for underlying SAM2. Note: your settings may be different.

Now you can start the SAMs and configure it over the Global Manager Administrator Console. Note to configure the underlying SAM, you must first attach them.

If you need further assistance please let me know.
Regards,
ada

Hi itc,

I would say just fire a new SAM server (with a distinct name) and subscribe to the other SAM... no ?

Yes,
I speak about opportunity to support two IP domains, two SAM domains and one main.

SAM ----> Report manager

Good morning all,

Well your scenario should be possible if you follow the documentation, never tried myself but it shouldn't be a problem.
Check the 'SAM deployment guide' by EMC and there is case where there are more than one Global Managers, chapter 3 pages 4 & 5.
I guess you will have to configure the underlying SAM domains to connect to the master and the IP Domains should be connected to their SAM domains. This way the notifications will populate from the IP domains to the master SAM.
Btw, did you ask in a previous threat about different severities for differente users in SMARTS? this might be an option, having different SAM domains monitoring the different devices. Although you would be duplicating the monitoring and management traffic to your devices

I hope this helps otherwise please do not hesitate in asking

cheers

Fernando
