Connect the VCM Managed Machines to the SCRTool
To establish communication between the managed machines and the host machine, connect the VCM
managed machines to the SCR Tool.
Procedure
Connect the managed machines to the SCR Tool. You must take this action for each platform type.
n
Create a mount point to the respective platform directory on the SCR Tool machine that contains the
patch payload for the platform.
n
Use a remote command to mount the VCM managed machine at the time of patch deployment.
n
Use a remote command to FTP the files to the managed machine when the patches are deployed.
Set Logging Levels and Output File Names
The SCR Tool provides flexible logging settings and properties to customize your logging levels.
You can use the scr_root/conf/logging.properties file to specify custom logging levels and output
file names for each run of the SCRTool. Individual logging.properties files allow you to use specific
logging parameters for different patch distributions.
If you use a different file, you must modify the L_SCR_LOG_PROPS value in the startup.sh file to use
the new file.
Prerequisites
n
If you use a different logging.properties file, back up your startup.sh file before modifying the
L_SCR_LOG_PROPS file.
Procedure
1. On the SCR Tool host machine, copy the scr_root/conf/logging.properties file to a new file
that you can customize.
For example: logging.properties.aix
2. Modify the L_SCR_LOG_PROPS entry in scr_root/bin/startup.sh to indicate the path of the
logging.properties file.
For example: L_SCR_LOG_PROPS=../conf/logging.properties.aix
3. Open the new logging properties file.
4. Set the following properties to the required level of logging.
java.util.logging.FileHandler.level
java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.level
com.lumension.level
By default, all scripts log data to the same file name pattern at the INFO logging level. The logging
values include several levels.
