Default values

All required parameters have default values defined for them. Optional parameters are disabled by default and have no default values. Some parameters have more than one default: an internal default and a configuration default.

For example, the internal product TMS:Engine (Tivoli® Management Services:Engine) sets this global default value for the KDS_TEMS_STORAGE_LIMIT_EXTEND parameter:

LIMIT(16,X)

However, the PARMGEN files override the TMS:Engine default and show a different default value for the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server:

LIMIT(23,X)

When you edit a default value in a PARMGEN file, your edited value overrides the PARMGEN default value, which has already overridden the TMS:Engine default value (if a TMS:Engine default value exists).

Because OMEGAMON® for Storage is configured in the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server address space, the values for environment variables set in KDSENV apply to the monitoring agent as well as to the monitoring server.

Default values for runtime environment and Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server parameters are documented in the Common Parameter Reference. Default values for this monitoring agent are documented in this guide and are shown in parameter maps (described in Obtaining parameter reports at: http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSAUBV/com.ibm.omegamon_share.doc_6.3.0.2/shared_welcome/welcome.htm).
