Templates
For each resource type, a default configuration template is available so that you do not need to create
configuration files from scratch. The templates already contain most of the required parameters with
remarks on the appropriate use of configuration variables, and details of maximum and minimum values.
When configuring a new FSE resource, make a copy of the appropriate template, modify the copy
according to the characteristics of the resource, and then configure the resource using the copy.
NOTE: While modifying templates for configuration of new resources, preserve the double quote
characters (") that surround the values of some variables. Removing these characters may lead to problems
with adding new resources in certain cases.
Templates are located in the following directories on consolidated FSE implementation or the FSE server:
Linux specific
Windows specific
To configure your resources and your policies, use FSE commands or the FSE Management Console.
Resource configuration is described in section ”Using FSE command-line interface for configuring resources
and policies” on page 40. For more information on FSE commands, see ”FSE command-line interface” on
page 22. For more information on the FSE management console, see ”FSE Management Console” on
page 25.
See appendix ”FSE configuration templates” on page 241 for details on default settings in FSE
configuration files and for maximum and minimum parameter values.
Configuration Database
The FSE configuration is stored in the Configuration Database. This database maintains a configuration
history for each configured FSE resource thus providing multiple revisions of configuration files. When you
reconfigure your resources, the new configuration is marked with a new revision number.
Additionally, you are able to revert from the current to any other configuration revision at any time. You
only need to retrieve the desired revision from the configuration database, and then reapply it. The applied
configuration is again saved as a new configuration revision.
CAUTION: Do not directly alter the contents of the Configuration Database, as it may cause failures or
even loss of data. Use the FSE command-line interface to change the configuration as described in section
”Using FSE command-line interface for configuring resources and policies” on page 40 and section ”Using
the FSE Management Console for configuring resources and policies” on page 41.
The Configuration Database is located in the following directory:
