The chassis has a local cache to store role information for 240 minutes by default.
The next time you log in within that time frame, IMS does not need to query the
external IMS server again:
Configure set ims -cache-timeout=0 to disable the cache. The external IMS
will be queried every time someone logs in. Additionally the system flush ims
command is available for “ADMIN” users to flush the cache immediately:
Setting the Shell Inactivity Timeout for
Root User
The root file system of XgOS contains an inactivity timer for the root user. By
default, when you log in to a Oracle Fabric Interconnect as root user (not admin), the
Oracle Fabric Interconnect shell allows 60 minutes of inactivity. If no activity is
detected within that time, the root user is logged out. This timer applies only to
users logged in through the root account. The admin account is not affected.
The inactivity timer is customizable. To set the inactivity timer for the root login to a
non-default value, you will edit a file in the Oracle Fabric Interconnect shell. After
editing the file, you will need to log out, then log back in for the changes to take
effect.
▼ Set Shell Inactivity Timeout
To set the shell inactivity timer for root user, follow this procedure:
1. Log in to the Oracle Fabric Interconnect as the root user.
2. Remount the file system with read-write permissions.
For example:
show ims -detail
-----------------------------------------------------------------
cache-timeout 240
...
system flush ims
Identity Management System cache flushed
remount . RW
Remounting / RW: OK
