(IO Providers)

Note: Often the name of the DB i.e., postgres is confused with the postgres DBMS which is software for storing the data using the relational model. In this document, the convention followed is the term postgres will be used to specify the name of the s/w and not the DB.

The actual size occupied by these database can be found on the system by listing the size of the data directory /var/opt/psb/db/pgsql/base ( for IA) or /var/opt/sfmdb/pgsql/base (for PA).

Size of database on a system without IO Providers

du -sk /var/opt/psb/db/pgsql/base 76864 kB

Size of database on a system with IO Providers

du -sk /var/opt/psb/db/pgsql/base 122248 kB

Note: The sizes specified above for the DBs are only the approximate values and should not be considered as exact values.

The path /var/opt/psb/db/pgsql (IA) or /var/opt/sfmdb/pgsql (PA) are the reference paths for the postgres for its data directories. It is configured during the installation of the diagnostic products. There is no provision to changes or re-configure this path during the installation. Any attempt to change this path later or during the installation can break the product functionality and may lead to unexpected errors in the installation.

Data storage using Database in diagnostic Products

In the typical postgres database, all the data is stored in the data directory. Database internally stores data in the pages. The typical page size is 8kB.

How the DB size growth is maintained

The SysFaultMgmt uses archiving mechanism to limit the growth of its databases. The archiving mechanism ensures DB sizes are maintained to configurable limits. Based on archiving policies, data is moved from the current DB to archive DB. Data from archive DB is further pruned based on the configuration.

The two policies used for transferring data from current DB to archive DB are:

1.Age policy

2.Space policy

Age Policy

The value for this policy can be configured using configuration file DBConfig.xml. For more info on DBConfig.xml

and its parameters, see Configurable parameters of DBConfig.xml.

UX 11i WBEM Software specifications

HP-UX 11i WBEM Software is a powerful tool designed to improve systems management in enterprise environments by utilizing the Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) standard. This software is part of the HP-UX operating system, which is HP's proprietary Unix variant, and it offers a robust set of features designed to enhance the performance, reliability, and security of enterprise systems.

One of the main features of HP-UX 11i WBEM Software is its ability to provide a standardized interface for system management. WBEM is a protocol that allows for the management of networked hardware and software components in a consistent, interoperable manner. This feature is particularly beneficial for organizations that rely on a diverse range of hardware and applications, as it simplifies the integration of various system management tools into a unified framework.

Another important characteristic is the software’s support for CIM (Common Information Model). CIM is a standard designed to facilitate information exchange about the management of systems, networks, and services. HP-UX 11i WBEM Software uses CIM to enable administrators to gain a comprehensive view of their IT infrastructure, facilitating better decision-making and more effective resource management.

The adaptability of HP-UX 11i WBEM Software is noteworthy. It is designed to be extensible, allowing developers to create custom extensions and models that cater to specific business needs. This extensibility ensures that organizations can tailor the software to their unique environments, optimizing performance and enhancing operational efficiency.

Security is also a critical focus of HP-UX 11i WBEM Software. The architecture includes strong authentication mechanisms and access controls to safeguard sensitive data and management operations. This focus on security helps organizations maintain compliance with industry regulations and protects against unauthorized access.

Integration with existing management tools is another significant advantage. HP-UX 11i WBEM Software can be used alongside other system management solutions and protocols, allowing for seamless interoperability in diverse IT environments. This characteristic encourages organizations to leverage their current investments in management solutions while enhancing their capabilities through the use of WBEM.

In summary, HP-UX 11i WBEM Software is an integral part of HP's commitment to providing innovative solutions for enterprise systems management. Its standardized management interface, CIM support, extensibility, robust security features, and integration capabilities make it a valuable asset for organizations aiming to streamline their IT operations and improve overall system performance.
