Advanced configuration variables are used to manually set variables that are normally not available through the standard interface.
These variables should only be set when instructed so by Sentry Software Support.
To configure a variable
1.In the navigation pane of Central Monitoring Administration, click the Policies drawer and select a policy view. 2.Click Edit to display the Add/Edit Policy dialog box. 3.Select the policy that applies to the PATROL Agent for which you need to configure variables, and click Edit. 4.Click the Monitor Configuration tab. 5.Click the Advanced button. 
Configuring variables
6.In the Configuration Variables section, enter the configuration variables you need to configure and enter the value to be set. The configuration variables available for BMC TrueSight Operations Managerment - IBM DS6000, DS8000 Series Storage and their possible values are:
|
|
|
collectionHubHeapSizeMax
|
None
|
Maximum heap size in megabytes allocated to the Java Collection Hub.
|
collectionHubHeapSizeMin
|
None
|
Minimum heap size in megabytes allocated to Java Collection Hub.
|
collectionHubOverrideJavaCommandLine
|
None
|
Command line used by the monitoring solution to launch the Java Collection Hub. This variable should only be set if instructed by Sentry Support.
|
defaultReinitializationOptions
|
None
|
List of default options to be executed by BMC TrueSight Operations Managerment - IBM DS6000, DS8000 Series Storage on reinitialization.
•resetThresholds •resetThresholdManagementMode •resetAlertActions •resetOtherAlertSettings •resetDebugMode •resetRemovedPausedObjectList •resetReport •resetSecuritySettings •resetJavaSettings Insert a colon “;” between the variable and its value: “resetThresholds;1”; and if you enter multiple variables, they need to be separated by a carriage return.
|
disableJRECheck
|
0 = JRE validation tests enabled
|
When set to 1, disable the validation tests of the JRE used by the monitoring solution to run Java code. This can be used to force the monitoring solution to use a non-Sun or non-Oracle JRE.
|
disablePslExecuteBugWorkaround
|
0 = activated
|
When set to ‘1’, deactivates the workaround in the monitoring solution for a bug in the PslExecute() PSL function.
If the monitoring solution detects that the version of the PATROL Agent is affected by the PslExecute() bug, it uses an alternate technique to create asynchronous threads with the event_trigger() function and the RemPsl standard event. The disablePslExecuteBugWorkaround variable disables this workaround.
|
forceClassicConfigMode
|
0 = disabled
|
When the monitoring solution is used with BMC TrueSight Operations Management, all the monitoring solution configuration menus are disabled in the PATROL Consoles. To enable them, set the forceClassicConfigMode variable to 1.
|
javaPassword
|
None
|
Password associated to the javaUsername variable.
|
javaPath
|
None
|
Path to the folder containing the Java executable used by the Collection Hub.
|
javaUsername
|
n/a
|
Username used to launch the Java Collection Hub.
|
pausedObjectList
|
n/a
|
List of the PATROL object path of the paused objects. (i.e. for which no collection will be performed).
|
psCommand
|
n/a
|
Command used on UNIX/Linux systems to retrieve the list of the currently running processes.
Note: This command is used for debug purpose.
|
removedObjectList
|
n/a
|
List of instances that have been removed from the monitoring environment through the "Remove" KM Command.
|
startupDelay
|
0 seconds
|
To specify the number of seconds that BMC TrueSight Operations Managerment - IBM DS6000, DS8000 Series Storage will wait before starting its discovery.
