Using this feature, you can generate an exception report against devices, FRUs and volumes that are not configured correctly, based on a predefined list of normal values.
The normal values are stored in the System/exception.conf
and can be adjusted on an individual device, FRU, or volume basis, by modifying the DATA/exception.conf
file. When the Exception Report runs, the values in DATA/exception.conf
will override the values in System/exception.conf
.
For example, to change the default Cache Mode for a Sun StorEdge T3 array from auto
to off
, simply add the system.sysCacheMode
entry from the file System/exception.conf
into the file DATA/exception.conf
and change the field value
from auto
to off
. The file DATA/exception.conf
should appear as follows:
Users should adjust entries in the DATA/exception.conf
until the Exception Report is very short and reports only exceptions to the standard site configuration.
