Pm Parameters
Pm Controls
The following tables describe parameters that can be used in the Pm subsection of
either the Common or Fm sections.
Any parameter that can be used in the Common.Shared section can also be used
in the Common.Pm or Fm.Pm sections.
The parameters shown in Table 3-24 set up the when and how the Pm monitors
the fabric.
Table 3-24. Pm Parameters
Parameter
Default
Value
Description
ServiceLease 60 ServiceRecord lease with SA in seconds
SweepInterval 10 The PM constantly sweeps and computes
fabric statistics If the SweepInterval is
set to 0, the PM will not perform sweeps.
But instead if queried it will do an immediate
PMA operation
Tools such as iba_top require PM
SweepInterval be non-zero
The default in the sample FM configuration
file is ten seconds. However when
upgrading from previous FM releases, if a
FM configuration file is used without this
value specified, a default of 0 is used.
This permits upgrades to operate in a
mode comparable to the existing configuration
and requires specific user action to
enable the new 6.0 and above PM features.
MaxClients 3 The maximum number of concurrent PA
client applications (For example,
iba_report, iba_top, iba_rfm) running
against the same PM/PA.
