E SysFaultMgmt (System Fault Management) (SFM)
configuration files
This appendix describes the items of different configuration files in SysFaultMgmt (System Fault
Management) (SFM). The user can configure the following five files:
• “DBConfig.xml” (page 138)
• “FMLoggerConfig.xml” (page 139)
• “evweb.conf” (page 140)
• “InternalHealthDaemon.cfg” (page 140)
• “SFMConfig.xml” (page 141)
DBConfig.xml
The DBConfig.xml is a configuration file used to set SysFaultMgmt (System Fault Management)
(SFM) DB parameters of the Event storage (evweb) and the Common Log storage (LOGDB)
databases, and their corresponding archive database (evweb_history and LOGARCHDB).
SysFaultMgmt (System Fault Management) (SFM) allows the DBConfig.xml being modified
at anytime and take effect immediately by executing the following command:
# sfmconfig -c /var/opt/sfm/conf/DBConfig.xml
Table 59 (page 138) describes the parameters to configure Event and Common Log database.

Default
valueParameter
Argument is NUMBER OF PAGES:10 to
400
140DBConfig/
MaxNumPagesAllowed It indicates the maximum number of pages that the LOGDB can hold.
Argument is NUMBER OF DAYS:1 to 1010DBConfig/
As the maximum threshold time is seven days, 10 days are considered
sufficient for this parameter. If any of the conditions are hit, then the records
will be moved to Archive DB.
DBRecordLifeTime
Argument is NUMBER OF DAYS:30 to
365
365DBConfig/
ArchedRecordLifetime It includes total number of days, which is spent in LOGDB also. It is desirable
to have records of one year.
Argument is NUMBER OF PAGES:10 to
400
340DBConfig/
ArchDBSize A value of 340 would be sufficient for this parameter.
Argument is NUMBER OF PAGES:10 to
400
100EvwebDBConfig/
MaxNumPagesAllowed It indicates the maximum number of pages that the current database size
can grow before history management can move the events to history
database. Once the total number of pages held by the evweb DB exceeds
this value, history management will move events from the current database
to the history database, such that the size of the current database reduces
by approximately 15% to 20%.
Argument is NUMBER OF DAYS:1 to 1010EvwebDBConfig/
Indicates the maximum number of days an event should be kept in the current
database before moving it into the history database. As Maximum hold Time
DBRecordLifeTime
is seven days, 10 days are considered sufficient. Events will be moved from
the current database to history database based on either Maximum number
