Additional Configuration Properties

This section provides detailed information on how to override the default property values used within BPM Express for Hardware. These values have to be defined in the rsmcfg.properties (%RSM_HOME%\ RSMxx\server\rsm\conf\properties\rsm\ rsmcfg.properties) file.

The following properties may be set to override the default values for a specific element or for all elements at once.

SSH Timeout

This property allows you to override the default timeout value or the default connector specified timeout value for executing a single command using SSH. The default value is 45 seconds.

•Property:  net.sentrysoftware.bpm.hardware.sshTimeout.default=45000

To override the connector specified timeout value:

•Property:  net.sentrysoftware.bpm.hardware.sshTimeout.hdf=60000

The <hostname> tag must be replaced with EXACTLY the hostname or IP address entered when adding the element

Telnet timeout

This property allows you to override the default timeout value or the default connector specified timeout value for executing a single command using Telnet. The default value is 45 seconds.

•Property:  net.sentrysoftware.bpm.hardware.telnetTimeout.default=45000*

To override the connector specified timeout value:

•Property:  net.sentrysoftware.bpm.hardware.telnetTimeout.hdf=60000

WMI timeout

This property allows you to override the default timeout value for executing a single WMI query. The default value is 45 seconds.

•Property:  net.sentrysoftware.bpm.hardware.wmiTimeout.default=45000

WBEM timeout

This property allows you to override the default timeout value for executing a single WBEM query. The default value is 45 seconds.

•Property:  net.sentrysoftware.bpm.hardware.wbemTimeout.default=45000

AWK timeout

This property allows you to override the default timeout value for executing a single AWK command. The default value is 180 seconds.

•Property: net.sentrysoftware.bpm.hardware.awkTimeout.default=180000

WMI namespace

This property allows you to specify the namespace that is to be used for executing the WMI query.

•Property:  net.sentrysoftware.bpm.hardware.wmiNamespace=root\cimv2

WBEM namespace

This property allows you to specify the namespace that is to be used for executing the WBEM query.

•Property:  net.sentrysoftware.bpm.hardware.wbemNamespace=root

Force Telnet

If an element responds to both Telnet and SSH, by default BPM Express for Hardware uses SSH. This property can be set to “true” in order to force Telnet over SSH.

•Property:  net.sentrysoftware.bpm.hardware.forceTelnet=true

Force SSH

This property is used to specify BPM Express for Hardware to use SSH.

•Property:  net.sentrysoftware.bpm.hardware.forceSSH=true

Force WMI Script

By default BPM Express for Hardware uses the WMI class of BMC portal sdk to perform wmi requests. Setting this property value to “true” will force BPM Express for Hardware to use WMI Script to perform wmi requests.     

•Property:  net.sentrysoftware.bpm.hardware.forceWMIScript=true

Force nAwk

By default BPM Express for Hardware uses the java native awk method to parse the result. Setting this property value to “true” will force BPM Express for Hardware to use nAwk to parse the result.  

•Property: net.sentrysoftware.bpm.hardware.forcenawk=true

Force SNMP Protocol Activation

This property forces the activation of the SNMP protocol.     

•Property:  net.sentrysoftware.bpm.hardware.snmpActivation=true

Reflect  Fan Speed value

By default in the class SEN_HW_FAN,  BPM Express for Hardware sets the parameter “Status” in alert if the parameter “Speed”  exceeds the threshold value. Setting this property value to “false” will force BPM Express for Hardware not to reflect the threshold values on parameter “Status”.    

•Property: net.sentrysoftware.bpm.hardware.fan.speed=false

Reflect  PowerSupply UsedCapacity value

By default in the class SEN_HW_POWERSUPPLY,  BPM Express for Hardware sets the parameter “Status” in alert if the parameter “UsedCapacity” exceeds the threshold value. Setting this property value to “false” will force BPM Express for Hardware not to reflect the threshold values on parameter “Status”.

•Property: net.sentrysoftware.bpm.hardware.powersupply.usedcapacity=false

Reflect  Voltage value

By default in the class SEN_HW_VOLTAGE,  BPM Express for Hardware sets the parameter “Status” in alert if the parameter “Voltage” exceeds the threshold value. Setting this property value to “false” will force BPM Express for Hardware not to reflect the threshold values on parameter “Status”.

•Property: net.sentrysoftware.bpm.hardware.volt.voltage=false

Reflect  Temperature value

By default in the class SEN_HW_TEMPERATURE,  BPM Express for Hardware sets the parameter “Status” in alert if the parameter “Temperature” exceeds the threshold value. Setting this property value to “false” will force BPM Express for Hardware not to reflect the threshold values on parameter “Status”.      

•Property: net.sentrysoftware.bpm.hardware.temp.temperature=false

Reflect AvailablePathCount value

By default in the class SEN_HW_LUN, BPM Express for Hardware sets the parameter "Status" in alert if the parameter "AvailablePathCount" exceeds the threshold value. Setting this property value to "false" will force BPM Express for Hardware not to reflect the threshold values on parameter "Status".

•Property: net.sentrysoftware.bpm.hardware.lun.availablePathCount=false

SNMP Port

BPM Express for Hardware uses the default Port 161 for SNMP requests. This port number can be overriden by setting this property value in the rsmcfg.properties file.

•Property: net.sentrysoftware.bpm.hardware.snmp.port=161

SSH Port

BPM Express for Hardware uses the default Port 22 for SSH requests. This port number can be overriden by setting this property value in the rsmcfg.properties file.

•Property: net.sentrysoftware.bpm.hardware.ssh.port=22

Telnet Port

BPM Express for Hardware uses the default Port 23 for Telnet requests. This port number can be overriden by setting this property value in the rsmcfg.properties file.

•Property: net.sentrysoftware.bpm.hardware.telnet.port=23

WBEM Activation

Option to activate the WBEM protocol is added by setting a value in the rsmcfg.properties file.

•Properties: net.sentrysoftware.bpm.hardware.wbemActivation=true;true

Pre-Selected Connectors

This property will force Hardware Express to perform detection process only on the specified connector files for a specified element.

•Property: net.sentrysoftware.bpm.hardware.preSelectedConnectors.hostname=connector1.hdf,connector2.hdf,connector3.hdf

Perform Garbage Collect

By default, the RSM will perform garbage collect (GC) when it needs memory. This property can however be set to "true" to force the GC of all the elements that are using BPM Express for Hardware. GC will then be performed after each collect.

•Property: net.sentrysoftware.bpm.hardware.garbagecollect=true

  Forcing the GC of all the elements that are using BPM Express for Hardware may have a significant impact on performance.
