Intel MPCMM0001 manual Configuring pms.ini, Global Data, PMS Administrative State

Process Monitoring and Integrity

6.9Configuring pms.ini

The pms.ini file is the Process Monitoring Service (PMS) and Process Integrity Exectuable (PIE) configuration file. It contains all of the non-volatile configuration data for the service. This file can be found in the /etc/cmm directory on the CMM. It is an ASCII based text file that can be edited with vi or any other text editor.

Note: Any changes made to the pms.ini file will be overwritten during a firmware update. Care should be made to preserve the file or any changes before a firmware update is done so that the file and changes can be restored following the update.

The dynamic data fields (except the AdminStates) in this file will be replicated to the standby CMM via the CMM Data Synchronization Service. If invalid data is provided for a particular field (i.e. out of range), the default value, if one exists, will be used.

If invalid data is provided for a particular field (i.e. out of range), the default value, if one exists, will be used. If a default value is not possible, that entire section not be used. For example, PmsProcess012 will be ignored if no value is given for its CommandLine.

Database changes are classified in two categories: dynamic and static. Dynamic changes are initiated by an interface (RPC, CLI, or SNMP). The change will take effect in the PMS and the data in this file will be updated. Dynamic changes can be made while the PMS is running.

Static changes are made directly to this file and must be done while the PmsMonitor is not running.

6.9.1Global Data

This data applies to the PMS as a whole (not specific to a process). There must be one and only one set of this data.

6.9.1.1PMS Administrative State

The PMS administrative state determines if monitoring of all processes will be allowed.

Values: 1 - unlocked (enabled), 2 - locked. Default: 1. (dynamic)

AdminState = 1

6.9.1.2PMS Excessive Reboot/Failover Count

The maximum number of reboots or failover attempts allowed (over the interval specified in the field below).

Values: 2 - 255. Default: 3.

ExcessiveRebootOrFailoverCount = 3

6.9.1.3PMS Excessive Reboot/Failover Interval

The interval, in seconds, over which the maximum number of reboots/failovers will be measured.

Values: 1 - 65535. Default: 900.
