b. Syslog facility. If the syslog option was selected, enter the facility to log to. The default
value is local4. Configuration of a remote syslog host must be done in the syslogd
configuration file.
7. Log level. Enter the minimum level of log messages to record. The default value is info. Debug
is not recommended unless explicitly requested as part of a support investigation due to the
amount of disk space consumed that will not then be available for core processes. Each log
level includes the following:
• info: errors, warnings and information messages like system start up and stop
• verbose: errors, warnings, and info messages plus high-level operational functions
• debug: errors, warnings, info and verbose messages plus lower level operational functions
• trace: all possible log messages
Note
Debug or trace logging are not recommended unless explicitly requested as part
of a support investigation due to the amount of disk space consumed. If debug
logging is required for any length of time, administrators must monitor space
availability carefully and are strongly encouraged to allocate a dedicated partition
for logging to protect other system services.
8. CNS Host: The IP address or hostname of the name space server that will store the filesystem
metadata for the mount you are configuring. The default is localhost (127.0.0.1), which will
configure the share to use a name space on the local server. To use a name space configured
on a remote server, enter the external IP address for the previously created name space.
Note
If configuring a multi-server environment where more than one CFS server is sharing
a single CNS instance, you must enter the same CNS host information that was
entered in the cns-admin utility for each share. cfs-admin will generate a world
unique serial number for every created CFS share for internal use when requesting
exclusive file locks across all servers in the name space. This serial number is
stored with the CFS configuration files so they must not be copied from one server to
another to ensure the CFS share serial number is not duplicated.
9. CFS Time Horizon (Default=0d means no Timescapes): The time that deleted file system
objects will be kept in order to be available for a timescape mount of the file system at a time
in the past. Times are accepted in hours (i.e. 2h), days (i.e. 1d), months (i.e. 2m), or years (i.e.
1y). After the time horizon, deleted files are garbage collected from DX Storage and can no
longer be accessed.
10. Use Zeroconf for DX Storage configuration?. This option allows you to specify whether
or not Zeroconf should be used to discover the list of nodes in the DX Storage cluster. The
CFS server must be in the same subnet with DX Storage in order to use Zeroconf. CFS 2.6 is
compatible with DX Storage versions 3.0.5 and later.
