Overview of configuration parameters

The OMEGAMON® monitoring agents use parameters for setting and storing configuration values. The value of these parameters is set using the new PARMGEN configuration method.

Some parameters, such as those used by runtime environments and the Tivoli® Enterprise Monitoring Server, are common to all the OMEGAMON agents. Other parameters are specific to a particular agent. This guide is a reference for parameters specific to the OMEGAMON for Storage monitoring agent. It provides the following information for each parameter:
  • A description of the parameter
  • Whether the parameter is required or optional
  • Where the value for the parameter is stored in the runtime libraries, the name of the parameter in the libraries, and its default and permissible values
  • The name and ID of the panel in the Configuration Tool (ICAT) where it was configured (if applicable), the label of the field in which the value is specified, and its default and permissible values
  • The name of the parameter as it appeared in a parameter file in Configuration Tool (ICAT) batch mode configuration
  • Related parameters
Note: The Configuration Tool (ICAT), referenced in the previous bullets, is no longer used nor available.
The parameter descriptions in this reference are organized alphabetically, by the parameter names used in the PARMGEN configuration method. However, Table 1 and Table 2 list the parameters as organized in the PARMGEN configuration profile.
Note: Some parameters described in this reference include n or nn in their names. These are not the actual names of these parameters as you will see them in the configuration profile. The n or nn means that you can have multiple instances of this parameter in your configuration profile. For example, you could have multiple instances of the KDF_FMnn_FIRST_DEV because you have multiple devices to monitor. If you cannot find a parameter by searching on its full name, try searching on a part of the name, omitting the numbers that define that instance.

This reference information is intended to be used in connection with the configuration documents in the following link: http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSAUBV/com.ibm.omegamon_share.doc_6.3.0.2/shared_welcome/welcome.htm, where the PARMGEN configuration methods are described. Descriptions of the parameters that define a runtime environment and configure the shared Tivoli Management Services components in the runtime environment are found in the Common Parameter Reference.
