Parameter Reference

Overview

The OMEGAMON monitoring agents use parameters for setting and storing configuration values. Use a configuration tool to set the value of these parameters. It is recommended that you use the Configuration Manager tool though the Parameter Generator (PARMGEN) application is also supported.

Some parameters, such as those used by runtime environments and 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 for Storage monitoring agent.

In this document, you can find the following information for each parameter in alphabetical order:

Name of the parameter as stored in a runtime library
Description of the parameter
Whether the parameter is required or optional
The name of the parameter in the libraries
Parameter default and permissible values
Related parameters

Some parameters include n or nn in their names. These are not the actual names of these parameters as you see them in the configuration profile. The n or nn are variables to indicate that you can have multiple instances of this parameter in your configuration profile. For example, if you have two additional GRIDs in Virtual Tape Subsystem to set to Y for KS3_VTS_VTS7700_GRID_FLAG, you can set configuration for each GRID as follows:



KS3_VTS_VTS7700_GRID_FLAG Y
KS3_TS BEGIN
KS3_TS01_ROW 01
KS3_TS01_VTS7700_SEQ_LIBRARY "IBM.OMGSTG.BVIR.GRID1"
KS3_TS01_VTS7700_SEQ_UNIT "TAPE"
KS3_TS01_VTS7700_SEQ_VOLUME ""
KS3_TS01_VTS7700_SAMPLE_INTV 15                        
KS3_TS02_ROW 02
KS3_TS02_VTS7700_SEQ_LIBRARY "IBM.OMGSTG.BVIR.GRID2"
KS3_TS02_VTS7700_SEQ_UNIT "TAPE"
KS3_TS02_VTS7700_SEQ_VOLUME ""
KS3_TS02_VTS7700_SAMPLE_INTV 30
KS3_TS END

To search for a parameter, use the full name, or a part of the name, omitting the numbers that define that instance. For example, if you want to search for KDF_FMnn_SAM_CNT, you can either type KDF_FM or KDF_FMnn_SAM_CNT.

For configuring the parameter configuration tools, see OMEGAMON shared documentation.
For descriptions of the parameters that define a runtime environment and to configure the shared IBM Tivoli Management Services components in the runtime environment, see Common Parameters at OMEGAMON shared documentation.

PARMGEN method

The PARMGEN configuration method uses a comprehensive list of parameters for the installed products and components in a runtime environment (the configuration profile). In addition, it uses a series of jobs to create a complete runtime environment using the values specified in the profile.

For the PARMGEN configuration method, see Parameter Generator at OMEGAMON shared documentation.

Configuration Manager method

In the Configuration Manager configuration method, the parameters are divided by components and by members.

For the Configuration Manager configuration method, see Configuration Manager at OMEGAMON shared documentation.
