How do I stop Spectrum from automatically making connections?

[sheldonc]

Fault Isolation is not working because base events had been modified and they can't be fixed at this time, so we would like to stop Spectrum from automatically making connections until the events can be fixed.

Hey Sheldon,

 

To my knowledge Spectrum should only be discovering the connections when you tell it to.

Either auto discovery (scheduled), or manually.

So perhaps make sure your discoveries are not creating links?

 

Thanks!

Hi Sheldon,

 To elaborate a bit on what Matt noted, make sure you don't have any scheduled Autodiscoveries. For topology and/or trap discoveries, on the VNM model, Component Detail, Autodiscovery Control, Modeling and Protocol Options, set all options to No.   You may also want to consider manually changing lock_connection to true but be careful as this may prevent future connections if needs change.

Cheers

Hi Sheldon,

You can try turning off/ Disable Port Fault Correlation first and see if that helps you to achieve what you are trying to do. 
You can disable this by going to VNM Model -> Fault Isolation settings -> Port Fault Correlation -> Disabled.

You can also do this by destroying the Connects_to association between the two models respectively. 
Destroy association [-n] rel=relation lmh=left_model_handle rmh=right_model_handle 
for two models that are resolved to the port level of each, there are two Connects_to associations you have to remove. The one from the interface of device A to device B and the one from the interface of device B to device A. So you need to find the model handle of the interface and device models associated first. You also have an Is_Adjacent_to association from device A to B and from B to A. 
To be frank, this will not be an easy task to accomplish if you having multiple connections to delete.

You can also right click on the link in the OneClick and selecting the delete menu.

 

Thanks & Regards
