HP VAN SDN Controller Administrator Guide v3

Figure 15 Default Configurations Component Display
2.4.1 Component configuration
The configuration components enable management of the controller features. The base set of
controller components support the applications included in the basic controller feature set. Adding
or removing an application may add or remove related configuration components included in this
set, and provide more configuration control. However, direct addition or removal of configuration
components is not supported.
Each configuration component contains one or more component keys, with each key identifying
a configurable property.
CAUTION: Inappropriate changes to Key settings can result in severely degraded system
performance. For this reason, HP strongly recommends that managing the default Key settings be
done only by experienced network administrators and programmers who have a strong
understanding of SDN controller systems.
NOTE: In a controller team environment, configuration changes on one active controller propagate
to the other active controllers in the team.
Each key includes the current value, or setting, the default setting, and a brief description. Where
applicable, the range of suggested settings is also included. For example, the AlertManager
component includes the three keys shown below:
