User configuration parameters

A major part of configuring the
involves setting user configuration parameters in the files that are identified in User configuration files for the Topology Split Manager.
User configuration files for the
Directory under TSM_BASEDIR/smarts
Filename
Description
conf/discovery
discovery.conf
File in which you fine tune configurations to improve the performance of
discovery. See the
for a description of this file.
tpmgr-param.conf
File in which you customize
discovery. See the
for a description of this file.
name-resolver.conf
File in which you control how the
names a discovered system. See the
for a description of this file.
partition.conf
File in which you specify display names for partitions. See the
for a description of this file.
user-defined-connections.conf
File in which you specify connections between discovered network objects. See the
for a description of this file.
conf/discovery/topo-split
tsm.conf
File in which you enable and customize topology split. See
“Description of tsm.conf” on page 52
for a description of this file.
topo-split.conf
File in which you specify domain names for topology split. See
“Description of topo-split.conf” on page 59
for a description of this file.
conf/custom
override-polling-system.txt
File in which you specify devices that the
IP Availability Manager
s should poll at a one-minute interval. See
“Description of override-polling-system.txt” on page 60
for a description of this file.
local/conf
runcmd_env.sh
File in which you set environment variables to control behavior globally.
For each application that is started from the
installation area, the startup software sets the variables that are defined in the runcmd_env.sh file.
The procedures that follow assume that the SM_BROKER or SM_BROKER_DEFAULT variable is defined in the runcmd_env.sh file and points to the
in the
deployment.
As with most
VMware Smart Assurance
configuration files, the user configuration files for the
are used to set attributes for certain objects within a
’s environment when the
starts up. The parameters and their values in a configuration file become the attributes and their values for the created objects.
For the discovery.conf file, as an example, the associated object is an instance of the ICF_TopologyManager class and is named ICF-TopologyManager. This object has attributes for configuring various aspects of
IP Manager
discovery.
For the tsm.conf file, as another example, the associated object is an instance of the TopoSplit_Manager class and is named TopoSplit-Manager. This object has attributes for configuring various aspects of topology split.
