Overview
Warning: Do not make adjustments to Advanced Parameters without assistance from Customer Support.
APTARE StorageConsole provides a mechanism for customizing internal host resource parameters to meet the needs of your organization. These parameters can be configured and restricted to the following levels:
• Domain - This scope is useful for Managed Service Providers where the parameter can be applied to all data collectors.
• Collector - Restricts the parameter change to a specific Data Collector.
• Operating System - Linux, HP-UX, Solaris, Window, or AIX
• Hosts - Defines the pre-existing hosts with the Domain or any new hosts
• Command - Defines the command or list of commands to which the parameter value is restricted.
Example
SSH port - A change could be made at the domain level and then could also be set for a collector and even for a specific host.
