Configuring Rdf - HP NonStop RDF J-series RVUs Management Manual

For RDF network environments, you should subtract an additional 15 minutes from the timestamp
you calculated in Step 4.

Configuring RDF

For RDF to operate correctly, you must establish values for the following sets of attributes in the
RDF configuration file:
• Global attributes that apply across RDF
• Attributes that apply to image trails
• Attributes that apply to triggers
• Network configuration record attributes
• Process attributes that apply to the individual RDFNET, monitor, extractor, receiver, purger,
and updater processes
In addition to the configuration file on disk, RDFCOM maintains a copy in memory. To configure
RDF, first use RDFCOM SET commands to establish the values you want in the configuration
memory table, and then use ADD command to apply those values to the configuration file. You
do this for each process individually; do all of the SETs for a process, and then add the particular
object. Notice that the only purpose of the configuration memory table is to serve as a temporary
repository of configuration attributes for the SET command.
Initially, some of the configuration attributes in the memory table are set to their default values.
You use SET commands only for those attributes that you want to change from the default value.
Before issuing the ADD command, you can verify the current attributes in the memory table by
issuing SHOW commands.
After issuing the ADD commands (but before starting RDF), you can change some attribute
values in the configuration file by issuing ALTER commands.
