A major part of configuring the Topology Split Manager involves setting user configuration parameters in the files that are identified in User configuration files for the Topology Split Manager.
| Directory under TSM_BASEDIR/smarts |
Filename |
Description |
|---|---|---|
| conf/discovery |
discovery.conf |
File in which you fine tune configurations to improve the performance of Topology Split Manager discovery. See the VMware Smart Assurance IP Manager Reference Guide for a description of this file. |
| tpmgr-param.conf |
File in which you customize Topology Split Manager discovery. See the VMware Smart Assurance IP Manager Reference Guide for a description of this file. |
|
| name-resolver.conf |
File in which you control how the Topology Split Manager names a discovered system. See the VMware Smart Assurance IP Manager Reference Guide for a description of this file. |
|
| partition.conf |
File in which you specify display names for partitions. See the VMware Smart Assurance IP Manager Reference Guide for a description of this file. |
|
| user-defined-connections.conf |
File in which you specify connections between discovered network objects. See the VMware Smart Assurance IP Manager Reference Guide for a description of this file. |
|
| conf/discovery/topo-split |
tsm.conf |
File in which you enable and customize topology split. See “Description of tsm.conf” on page 52 for a description of this file. |
| topo-split.conf |
File in which you specify domain names for topology split. See “Description of topo-split.conf” on page 59 for a description of this file. |
|
| conf/custom |
override-polling-system.txt |
File in which you specify devices that the IP Availability Managers should poll at a one-minute interval. See “Description of override-polling-system.txt” on page 60 for a description of this file. |
| local/conf |
runcmd_env.sh |
File in which you set environment variables to control behavior globally. For each application that is started from the Topology Split Manager installation area, the startup software sets the variables that are defined in the runcmd_env.sh file. The procedures that follow assume that the SM_BROKER or SM_BROKER_DEFAULT variable is defined in the runcmd_env.sh file and points to the Broker in the Topology Split Manager deployment. |
As with most VMware Smart Assurance configuration files, the user configuration files for the Topology Split Manager are used to set attributes for certain objects within a Manager’s environment when the Manager starts up. The parameters and their values in a configuration file become the attributes and their values for the created objects.
For the discovery.conf file, as an example, the associated object is an instance of the ICF_TopologyManager class and is named ICF-TopologyManager. This object has attributes for configuring various aspects of IP Manager discovery.
For the tsm.conf file, as another example, the associated object is an instance of the TopoSplit_Manager class and is named TopoSplit-Manager. This object has attributes for configuring various aspects of topology split.
