4 Tiered Storage Manager Properties
This chapter discusses the following topics:
• Overview of Tiered Storage Manager properties (see section
4-1 )
• Server properties (see section 4-2 )
• Database properties (see section
4-3 )
• Device Manager Server Access properties (see section
4-4 )
• Logger properties (see section
4-5 )
4-1 Overview of Tiered Storage Manager Properties
Tiered Storage Manager has the following types of properties files:
• Server properties (see section
4-2 ) include web configuration properties and performance properties.
• Database properties (see section
4-3 ) include DBMS parameters, such as drivers and logon ID.
• Device Manager properties (see section 4-4 ) allow you to set up the environment for the Tiered Storage
Manager server to access Device Manager server.
• Logger properties (see section
4-5 ) set up the environment for the log output.
The property files are stored in the conf folder in the server installation directory. The property files are in the
Java property file format, with the following conventions:
• Each property must be coded as a combination of a property name and value separated by an equals
sign (=), e.g. server.rmi.port=23052
• A literal (character string or value) does not need to be enclosed by quotation marks.
• A Boolean value is either true or false (not case-sensitive).
• The backslash (\) is reserved is an escape character. Because absolute path names in Windows include
the backslash, you must add a second backslash, e.g., the path name
c:\CVXPAE\TieredStorageManager should be entered as
c:\\CVXPAE\\TieredStorageManager.
• Each property must be separated by a line delimiter (a line feed character).
• A line beginning with a hash mark (#) is a comment line.
• When a line ends with a backslash (\), the next line is the continuation line.
• If the conventions are not followed, attempting to read the properties fails, and the server cannot start.
• Invalid properties are output to the command log.
• In a cluster configuration, as a general rule you should use the same property files on both the executing
and standby nodes.
CAUTION: Before updating a property file, stop the Tiered Storage Manager server. If a property file is
updated while the Tiered Storage Manager server is running, the Tiered Storage Manager server might not
be able to stop normally. In such a case, forcibly stop the server.
