Update the Shared Configuration

Update the shared management console configuration to add or remove a shared management console.

Follow these steps:

1. Edit the DTMDistributedConsoles.ini file.
2. Update the list of IP addresses to include each management console you want, separating each IP address on a new line. Specify each IP address in dot-decimal notation.
3. Copy the updated DTMDistributedConsoles.ini file to all monitors. For a:
   • CA Standard Monitor, copy the file to the <ADA_HOME>\bin folder
   • CA Multi-Port Monitor, copy the file to the /opt/NetQoS/bin folder

   If you removed a management console from the configuration file, make sure you remove the configuration file from the associated monitors.

4. Begin sharing according to the updated .ini file configuration:
   • On each CA Standard Monitor, open the Windows Services Control Panel and restart the CA ADA Data Transfer Manager service.
   • On each CA Multi-Port Monitor, from the Web interface, open the Process Status page and restart the caperformancecenter_devicemanager process.

   It can take up to 25 minutes to begin sharing WAN-optimized Client segment data between each management console.
