Chapter3 Managing ITP Networks Using SGM

Configuring Seed Files

When you save and name the seed file, keep the following considerations in mind:

•You can use any letters, numbers, or characters in the name that are allowed

by your operating system.

•SGM saves the seed file with a.see file extension.

•SGM saves the seed file in the SGM server’s seed file directory, seeds:

–

If you installed SGM in the default directory, /opt, then the seed file

directory is /opt/CSCOsgm/seeds/.

–

If you installed SGM in a different directory, then the seed file directory

is located in that directory.

When SGM loads the seed file, it verifies the syntax of the file, deleting blank

lines and extraneous leading and trailing spaces as needed. SGM also verifies that

each seed node name resolves to a valid IP address. If a name does not resolve to

a valid IP address, SGM logs the erroneous entry and ignores it.

For example, given the following seed file:

new-york-a<space>

<space>new-york-b

zzzzzzzzzzzz

<tab>chicago-c<tab>

SGM loads the following entries:

new-york-a

new-york-b

chicago-c
