Configuring administrator settings

Use the Administrator Settings management page to tune the local management interface so that it can run more efficiently.

Procedure

  1. Click Manage System Settings > System Settings > Administrator Settings.
    The available tuning parameters are listed in a table.
  2. Modify the parameters.
    • To edit a parameter, select the parameter from the table and click Edit. In the edit window, change the parameter value.
      Note: If you edit the SSHD port parameter in a clustered environment, all machines in the cluster must be configured with the same SSHD port. As the configured port will not be automatically distributed across all machines in the cluster, each machine must be updated individually.
    • To delete the current settings for a parameter and change its value to unset, select the parameter from the table and click Delete.
      Note: The administrator password cannot be reset.

    For example, to configure the maximum size or maximum number of the trace.log, messages.log files, and their rollover files, modify the Maximum Log File Size or Maximum Log Files parameters. The Maximum Log File Size parameter defines the maximum size in megabytes that the log files can grow to before they are rolled over. The Maximum Log Files parameter defines the maximum number of log files and rollover files that can be kept on the system.

    1. Select Maximum Log File Size or Maximum Log Files.
    2. Click Edit.
    3. Enter the values as needed.
    4. Click OK.
  3. Deploy the changes.
