Specifying Alarm Publication Lookup Locations

In a basic iControl configuration, services such as the Densité Manager or the Imagestore
Manager will automatically detect—and begin publishing alarm status information to—the
GSM(s) on their own subnet.

If, however, you wish to have these services connect to GSMs running on Application Servers
on other subnets, you must explicitly specify the GSM locations. You do this by typing the
IP address of the target Application Server (on the remote subnet) in the iControl Lookup

To do this...

...do this...

Add locations for service and
alarm discovery

1. Type the IP address and (optionally) the name of an Application Server that is

running a lookup service.

2. Click Add lookup.

The new lookup location appears in the Service and alarm discovery table.

Delete a service and alarm
lookup entry

1. In the Service and alarm discovery table, find the IP address corresponding to

the Application Server you would like to remove.

2. In this row, click Delete.

The specified IP address is removed from the table.

Note: The current version of iControl has a built-in feature called multi-GSM that
eliminates the need for specifying alarm publication lookup locations (see

"About

the Alarm Publication Lookup Table"

, on page 42). The procedures below are being

kept in this User Guide to support legacy iControl installations. Please consult with
Miranda Technical Support before making any modifications to your Lookup
Locations.
