Using the Application Manager in a Teamed Environment
Using the Application Manager in a teamed environment is similar to the usage in a standalone
controller environment. In a teamed environment, an operation performed on any of the
controllers is propagated to all the other controllers in the team. Thus, loading a new application
on any one controller propagates the application to all other controllers in the team.
Configurations
The Configurations display enables access to the configurable components in the controller.
Figure 15 Default Configurations Component Display
Component configuration
The configuration components enable management of the controller features. The base set of
controller components support the applications included in the basic controller feature set. Adding
or removing an application may add or remove related configuration components included in this
set, and provide more configuration control. However, direct addition or removal of configuration
components is not supported.
Each configuration component contains one or more component keys, with each key identifying a
configurable property.
Note
In a controller team environment, configuration changes on one active controller
propagate to the other active controllers in the team.
Caution
Inappropriate changes to Key settings can result in severely degraded system
performance. For this reason, HP strongly recommends that managing the default
Key settings be done only by experienced network administrators and
programmers who have a strong understanding of SDN controller systems.
