Configuration Files

Configuration files for the Avaya Media Processing Server Series are run by the system during the
Startup and Recovery Process (SRP). During the SRP, The configuration files provide information to
the system software about hardware configurations, resources, and protocols.
Exercise caution when you edit configuration files. Two types of remarks characters are used in the
configuration files for the MPS 1000 product: octothorpe (#) and semi-colon (;).
For detailed output about the following files, refer to the Avaya Media Processing Server Series
System Reference Manual.

Common file directory

$MPSHOME/common/ directory contains files common to all TMS or other components defined on
the Avaya Media Processing Server Series system node. Key configuration files found in this
directory include:
1. tms.cfg, in the $MPSHOME/common/etc/tms directory, sets up the following configurations
for each TMS:
a. system description
b. resource definition
c. TMS Map
d. line card load definition
e. line card protocol package definition
f. MPS/VPS line definition
g. synclist configuration
2. <proto>.cfg, in $MPSHOME/common/etc/tms, defines the set of resources loaded to perform
a particular protocol and defines specific protocol configuration parameters. One file exists
for each protocol used.
3. vpshosts, in $MPSHOME/common/etc, is the node component hosts file, which defines each
component on the network, and the node each component runs on.
4. gen.cfg, in $MPSHOME/common/etc, starts processes for the global environment.
Processes include alarmd, configd, consoled, conout, and pmgr.
5. sys.cfg, in $MPSHOME/common/etc/tms/, is used for configuring Avaya Server Address
Resolution Protocol (SARP). SARP is used by software on Avaya Media Processing Server
Series system nodes to resolve Internet Addresses for connecting to TMS and NIC.
6. pmgr.cfg, in $MPSHOME/common/etc, defines pool names and allocates resources that
belong to these pools.
