Reviewing the installation

VCS Simulator installs Cluster Manager (Java Console) and Simulator binaries on the system. The Simulator installation creates the following directories:

Directory	Content
attrpool	Information about attributes associated with VCS objects
bin	VCS Simulator binaries
default_clus	Files for the default cluster configuration
sample_clus	A sample cluster configuration, which serves as a template for each
	new cluster configuration
templates	Various templates that are used by the Java Console
types	The types.cf files for all supported platforms
conf	Contains another directory called types. This directory contains
	assorted resource type definitions that are useful for the Simulator.
	The type definition files are present in platform-specific sub
	directories.

Additionally, VCS Simulator installs directories for various cluster configurations.

VCS Simulator creates a directory for every new simulated cluster and copies the contents of the sample_clus directory. Simulator also creates a log directory within each cluster directory for logs that are associated with the cluster.
