- Run this command to change the EchoInterval to 30 (Minimum supported value):
/opt/likewise/bin/lwregshell set_value '[HKEY_THIS_MACHINE\Services\lwio\Parameters\Drivers\rdr]' EchoInterval 30
- Restart the vCenter Server Appliance services by running:
service-control --stop --all
service-control --start --all
