Table 16-3 General Settings Fields
Fields Description
Enable preference based graphical editor
support in the
Active System Manager RCP
client
Check this option if the deployment involves huge templates. If
this flag is true, RCP allows preference based graphical editor
support in template and session.
Maximum resource count Set a maximum number of resources for which graphical editor
can be opened. This is a performance setting for RCP client
5. In the Schedular Options Settings section, specify the scheduler options for the fields described in

Table 16-4 Scheduler Options Settings Fields
Fields Description
Generate scheduler solution
identification logs
Specify whether or not to generate logs in lux.log file identifying solutions for the
given template request.
Use randomness while finding
resource
Specifies that while finding solution one can introduce the randomness within the
identified candidates such that in overall Active System Manager system one set
of resource is not consumed more than other. Here solution is no longer
dependent on the sequence of resource in database. But this will have drastic
impact on the Power management solution for VM resource.
Solution of differing resource Specify that while finding multiple solutions for a template whether scheduler
should give solutions which are differing in interfaces or it should differ in
allocated resource instances.
