19.3 DIRECTORIESThe files and directories necessary to configure the flexible management concepts (discussed in 19.5.1) are available for immediate use after installation. 19.3.1 Directories on the Management ServerThe directories and files installed on the management server include many sample configuration files that are ready to customize for the specific flexible management or manager of manager (MoM) concept. It is a good practice to preserve the default copies of the files and create working copies for the customized configuration. The directories on the management server are in the path /etc/opt/OV/share/conf/OpC/mgmt_sv. 19.3.1.1 respmgrsThis directory is initially empty until you finalize the configuration and copy the production files into this directory. Some of the files in this directory are distributed to the managed node. We will cover the details of what files are distributed to the node in Section 19.5.4. Other files in this directory remain on the local server and are read by the server processes. 19.3.1.2 tmpl_respmgrsThis directory contains sample templates for the various flexible management configurations. The names of the files (such as follow-the-sun) provide a guide to the type of file. Some files have generic names (such as example.M2), and it is necessary to read the content of the file to determine how it may apply to a particular configuration. 19.3.1.3 work_repmgrsThis directory serves as a work area. Prior to changing a sample template, copy it into the work_respmgrs directory. Customize the sample template and save it with a new name. Some sample templates must retain their original name (such as escmgr and msgforw). The new name for the template will dictate how the template is used after it is read by the server or agent processes. Details about the template naming conventions are covered in Sections 19.5.2, "Management Server Templates" and 19.5.4, "Template Distribution." After the template is checked, copy the file into the respmgrs (production) directory. |
