GLOBAL
The profile parameters in the GLOBAL section contain basic
configuration information. Examples of the type of information that is specified by the parameters
are the port that is used by IBM® Storage Protect
Snapshot
and the location of log files. The parameters are independent of the storage solution, and database
application.
The following list provides the parameters, a
description of each parameter, and default values for the GLOBAL section
of the profile configuration file.
- ACS_DIR
- Path to the IBM Storage
Protect Snapshot configuration
directory. This parameter is required. The following sub-directories are included in this directory:
- logs
- The subdirectory contains all log and trace information for IBM Storage Protect Snapshot.
- shared
- The subdirectory contains information that is shared among all IBM Storage Protect
Snapshot components.
When the subdirectory is initially created, the only file that is stored in the directory is the password file: pwd.acsd. This file contains the passwords for all devices that are specified within the profile. The file also contains a master password that is used from all components for authentication when they are connecting to the management agent. When you run remote configuration tasks from the production system with the Configuration Wizard, the information in these directories is promoted to all systems that belong to the instance where IBM Storage Protect Snapshot is configured. When you run configuration tasks separately, you must promote the information manually.
- Default
- <instance_owner_$HOME>/acs
- Advanced mode only
- Yes
- ACSD
- The host name of the system where the management agent is running and the port it is listening
to. The following format is used for ACSD:
<hostname> <port>This parameter must be identical on all systems where IBM Storage Protect Snapshot is installed for a database instance. While the parameter must be identical, each database instance can be managed by an individual management agent.
- Default
- localhost 57328
- Advanced mode only
- Yes
- ENFORCE_TLS12
- IBM Storage Protect
Snapshot uses
the security suite, IBM Global
Security Kit (GSKit) for Secure Socket Layer / Transport Layer Security
(SSL/TLS) TCP/IP connections. GSKit is able to provide SP800-131 compliant
encryption by using the TLS protocol V1.2. To enforce the use of this
protocol, select the option
YES, otherwise the TLS version 1.0 and 1.1 is enabled
by default.
- Default
- NO
- Advanced mode only
- Yes
- TRACE
- There are two options for TRACE: YES and
NO. YES means that tracing is enabled. NO means
that tracing is not enabled.
Only use this parameter when advised to do so by IBM Support.
- Default
- NO
- Advanced mode only
- Yes
