Site Configuration File
The Site Configuration File contains default system settings. It is located on the head node at
/opt/sva/etc/sva.conf. HP generates the file automatically using the svaconfigure utility after the
cluster operating system software is installed. Use the svaconfigure utility to add or remove a node from
the cluster. See “Changing Data Files” (pg. 20) for more information.
The Site Configuration File typically contains the following sections and tags. The following tag values are
examples only; tag values are site-specific. Tag definitions are in Table 1-1, Table 1-2, Table 1-3, and
Table 1-4.

# This is set during configuration from
