Overview of the smMix Modes 
System operators can run smMix in the three following modes: 
 
smMix-default mode (with no options) to summarize the age mix in the 
secure_micro table in the DNCS database. 
 
smMix  -v-to display the version number of the smMix utility. 
 
smMix  -?-to display information that explains how the smMix utility works. 
Notes:   
 
 
System operators who run smMix and discover that their systems have DHCTs 
with EMMs set to expire in fewer than 20 days should call Cisco Services. 
 
System operators who run smMix and discover that their systems have an 
unusually high number of EMMs set to expire on the same day should call Cisco 
Services. 
Important:  Approximately 10 percent of EMMs should expire daily from 21 
days to 30 days in the future. An unusual condition exists when significantly 
more than 10 percent of EMMs are scheduled to expire on any one day within 
the 21 to 30 day timeframe. See DHCT Distribution in a System With an Uneven 
EMM Expiration Schedule
