HP Large Objects System Management Manual
HP Large Objects System Management Manual – 543599.001
Appendix B – Parms
The parameter or parm table contains the values that determine how the Large Object
scheme performs. Values of the parms must not be changed once the BuddyGroup
they relate to is active. The BuddyGroup is active once the first BuddySet is created
for that group. Parm values should only be changed using SetBuddyGroupParm.
The metaData.sh script establishes a set of default parameters to cover an entire
installation of the Large Object system. The list below show which parameters can be
overridden at BuddyGroup level.
