NAME
wlisys.conf - WLI configuration file for parameter initialization
DESCRIPTION
The file
/etc/wli/wlisys.conf
contains attribute-value pairs. The values are used to initialize WLI
kernel modules during system boot. Read access to this file is allowed through the file system mode
access bits. With WLI security enabled, an implicit WLI IBAC policy restricts write access to this file,
allowing updates only through wlisys (1M) and wlitrace (1M).
Only wlisys (1M) and wlitrace (1M) can have sections with parameter values stored in
/etc/wli/wlisys.conf
. The parameter values can only be changed in accordance with command
syntax given by the respective manpages.
If this file is empty, default values described in the respective command man page are used for initializa-
tion. The parameter values in this file, if present, are read into the WLI kernel component only during
system boot. These values are not read by WLI during run time. The parameter values are cached and
maintained by WLI within the kernel domain. Updated parameter values are written to the file after the
cached kernel values are updated (’write-through’ caching).
The format for each set of command parameters is:
sectionname
{
attr1 =val1
attr2 =val2
attr2 =val2
.
.
attrn =valn
}
For the wlisys (1M) command, sectionname is sysconf; and for wlitrace (1M), sectionname is
trace.
The
sysconf section contains a single parameter for the initial release: wmdstoretype. There are
three possible values for wmdstoretype:
auto WLI sets the value to pseudo or vxfs depending on available file system features.
pseudo A separate regular file, protected as read-only by WLI, is created to hold policy meta-
data for each file.
vxfs A VxFS named data stream is created to hold policy metadata for each file.
The
trace section can contain up to four parameters:
path Location of the wlitrace (1M) message log. The default value is
/var/wli/wlitrace.log
.
size Maximum size, in megabytes, the trace log can attain. The default value is 20, the
minimum value is 1 MB, and the maximum value is 1024 MB.
modules A list of modules and assigned level(s). The format consists of modname:levlist pairs,
where modname is the name of a particular WLI kernel module and levlist is the
comma-separated list of trace levels assigned to modname. The modname:levlist
pairs are separated by the pipe character (|). WLI trace module names and levels
comprising the modules parameter can be displayed with wlitrace -p.
The modules parameter holds the modules and levels used to initialize a trace session
started by
wlitrace -b -c. These modules and levels are also used to initialize a
trace session at system boot if the boot parameter, described below, has value yes.
These values are meaningful to support personnel only. The default value is a null
string, indicating no modules are enabled for tracing.
boot If the value is yes, WLI kernel initialization tracing is enabled. The default value is
no, indicating kernel initialization tracing is not enabled at system boot.
