Fast Fabric Configuration Files
The following configuration files are used by Fast Fabric:.
B.1
fastfabric.conf
The Fast Fabric tools support a configuration file
/etc/sysconfig/fastfabric.conf. This file can be used to provide default
settings for most of the Fast Fabric command line options. The config file is a bash
shell script which will be included by each tool. As such the file should be
implemented such that environment variables defined before the config file is
executed will not be altered. The sample displayed below makes use of the bash
syntax:
var= "${var:-value}"
such that only uninitialized variables are overwritten by the configuration file.
A sample file is provided below, and matches the internal defaults of the Fast Fabric
tools. For a given release consult
/etc/sysconfig/fastfabric.conf-sample for a sample file with the
defaults of the given release. If fastfabric.conf does not assign a value to a
given configuration variable, the default value will be used.
