Increase the default SNMP settings. If the device is running heavy traffic or is known to have
slow SNMP response time, moderately increase the SNMP timeout (default timeout is one
second) and retry count (default count is one retry).
7.
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 into slower system performance.

Start HAFM Services by selecting the Start > Programs > HAFM > Start Services.
