HP StorageWorks Command View XP Advanced Edition Device Manager Server Installation and Configuration Guide (December 2005)

Command View XP AE Device Manager Server Properties 121
The database properties configuration file contains the set of directives that pertain to establishing a
connection with the Device Manager server’s database. Before the Device Manager server will run
you need to correctly enter these settings and start the Database Management System (DBMS). If the
server cannot connect to its DBMS, an entry is written to the error log (the default location is in the
logs directory). This information can help considerably when you are troubleshooting a new
installation.
This file also holds debugging and optimization property settings for the Java™ Database
Connectivity (JDBC) layer in Device Manager server. You should only modify these properties if you
need detailed diagnostic information or if you are an expert System Administrator seeking to fine-tune
certain aspects of performance and/or memory utilization.
The default directory for the Windows
®
database properties file is:
• c:\Program Files\CVXPAE\DeviceManager\HiCommandServer\config
7-3-1 dbm.traceSQL
This property designates whether the output to trace.log is SQL. Set true to output to SQL. Set false
not to output SQL.
Default: false
7-3-2 dbm.divideUpdate
This property designates whether the Device Manager server database is updated separately or is
updated concurrently by performing transaction operations. Specify true to update the database
separately. Specify false to update the database concurrently.
CAUTION: If this property is set to true, you can only have one operator for updating the database.
CAUTION: Do not perform any other operations when using the discovery or refresh operations, or you
might get inconsistent disk array information.
NOTE: If you are performing discovery or refresh operations on a disk array, specify true.
Default: false
7-3-3 dbm.startingCheck.retryCount
This property specifies the number of times the Device Manager server will retry whether DMBS has
started when the server is launched. The specifiable value ranges form 0 to 100. As a general rule,
you do not need to change this setting.
Default: 18
7-3-4 dbm.startingCheck.retryPeriod
This property specifies the interval (in seconds) the Device Manager server will retry whether DMBS
has started when the server is launched. The specifiable value ranges form 0 to 100. As a general
rule, you do not need to change this setting.
Default: 10 seconds
7-4 Logger Properties
Logger properties are contained in the logger.properties file.
This properties file contains a set of directives that configure Device Manager server’s logging
module, including the names, locations and verbosity level of operational and error logging of the
various log files. You can also use this file to configure trace logging for debugging and diagnostic
purposes. The applicable file names are access.log, error.log, service.log, and trace.log.
The default directory for the Windows
®
logger properties file is:
• c:\Program Files\CVXPAE\DeviceManager\HiCommandServer\config
