Configuring System Profiles

This section includes the following topics:

Profiles

Prime Network Services Controller profiles are configurable.

Prime Network Services Controller provides default profiles. Default profiles are system generated and can be modified, but they cannot be deleted. You can add new policies to a profile, including DNS and NTP policies, or assign existing policies to the a profile.

The Prime Network Services Controller profile includes the DNS domain name that specified at boot configuration. That domain is displayed in the Prime Network Services Controller instance. New DNS domains cannot be created. However, the domain name description can be modified.

Prime Network Services Controller does not support the creation of additional Prime Network Services Controller profiles.

Policies in System Profiles

You can create multiple policies and assign them to the System profile. Policies for the System profile are created and deleted on the System Profile tab. Policies can be assigned to the System profile. System profile uses name resolution to resolve policy assignments. For details, see Name Resolution in a Multi-Tenant Environment.

The following policies created under root only, in the Device Policies area, will be visible in the System profile:
  • Core file
  • Fault
  • Log file
  • Syslog
Policies created under root are visible to both the System profile and the Device profile.

DNS server, NTP server and domain names can be assigned as inline policies. A time zone setting can also be assigned to the profile.

When the system boots up, the following policies already have existing default policies:
  • Fault policy
  • Log File
  • Syslog policy
The default policies cannot be deleted but may be modified.

Configuring Policies

Configuring a Core File Policy

Adding a Core File Policy to the System Profile

Procedure
    Step 1   Choose Administration > System Profile > root > Policies > Core File.
    Step 2   In the General tab, click Add Core File Policy.
    Step 3   In the Add Core File Policy dialog box, complete the following fields, then click OK:
    Field Description

    Name

    Core file policy name, containing 1 to 32 characters. You can use alphanumeric characters, hyphen (-), underscore (_), and period (.). You cannot change the name after the policy has been saved.

    Description

    Brief policy description, containing 1 to 256 characters. You can use alphanumeric characters, hyphen (-), underscore (_), and period (.).

    Admin State

    Indicate whether the administrative state of the policy is to be enabled or disabled.

    Hostname/IP Address

    Hostname or IP address to use for this policy. If you use a hostname rather than an IP address, you must configure a DNS server in Prime Network Services Controller.

    Port

    Port number for sending the core dump file.

    This field is read-only for InterCloud policies.

    Protocol

    Protocol for exporting the core dump file (tftp only).

    Path

    Path to use when storing the core dump file on a remote system. The default path is /tftpboot; for example, /tftpboot/test, where test is the subfolder.

    Editing a Core File Policy for a System Profile

    Procedure
      Step 1   Choose Administration > System Profile > root > Policies > Core File.
      Step 2   In the General tab, click the core file policy you want to edit, then click Edit.
      Step 3   In the Edit dialog box, modify the following fields as appropriate, then click OK:
      Field Description

      Name

      Name of the core file policy (read-only).

      Description

      Brief policy description.

      Admin State

      Administrative status of the policy: enabled or disabled.

      Hostname

      Hostname or IP address.

      Note    If you use a hostname, you must configure a DNS server.

      Port

      Port number to use when exporting the core dump file.

      This field is read-only for InterCloud policies.

      Protocol

      Protocol used to export the core dump file (tftp only).

      Path

      Path to use when storing the core dump file on the remote system.

      Deleting a Core File Policy from the System Profile

      Procedure
        Step 1   Choose Administration > System Profile > root > Policies > Core File.
        Step 2   In the General tab, click the core file policy you want to delete, then click Delete.
        Step 3   When prompted, confirm the deletion.

        Configuring a Fault Policy

        Adding a Fault Policy to the System Profile

        When the system boots up, a default policy already exists. You can modify the default policy, but you cannot delete it.

        Procedure
          Step 1   Choose Administration > System Profile > root > Policies > Fault.
          Step 2   In the General tab, click Add Fault Policy.
          Step 3   In the Add Fault Policy dialog box, provide the information as described in the following table, then click OK:
          Field Description

          Name

          Fault policy name.

          This name can contain 1 to 32 identifier characters. You can use alphanumeric characters including hyphen, underscore, dot, and colon. You cannot change this name after it is created.

          Description

          Brief policy description.

          Flapping Interval

          Length of time (in hours, minutes, and seconds) that must elapse before the system allows a fault to change its state.

          Flapping occurs when a fault is raised and cleared several times in rapid succession. To prevent this, the system does not allow a fault to change its state until this amount of time has elapsed since the last state change.

          If the condition reoccurs during the flapping interval, the fault returns to the active state. If the condition does not reoccur during the flapping interval, the fault is cleared. What happens at that point depends on the setting in the Clear Faults Retention Action field.

          The default flapping interval is ten seconds.

          Clear Faults Retention Action
          Action to be taken when faults are cleared:
          • retain—Retain the cleared faults.
          • delete—Delete fault messages as soon as they are marked as cleared.

          Clear Faults Retention Interval
          How long the system is to retain cleared fault messages:
          • Forever—The system retains all cleared fault messages regardless of their age.
          • Other—The system retains cleared fault message for a specified the length of time. In the spinbox that is displayed when you select this option, enter the length of time (in days, hours, minutes, and seconds) that the system is to retain cleared fault messages.

          Editing a Fault Policy for a System Profile


          Note

          When the system boots up, a default policy already exists. You can modify the default policy, but you cannot delete it.
          Procedure
            Step 1   Choose Administration > System Profile > root > Policies > Fault.
            Step 2   In the General tab, select the fault policy you want to edit, then click Edit.
            Step 3   In the Edit Fault Policy dialog box, modify the fields as needed by using the information in the following table, then click OK.

                        Deleting a Syslog Policy from a System Profile


                        Note

                        When the system boots up, a default policy already exists. You can modify the default policy, but you cannot delete it.
                        Procedure
                          Step 1   Choose Administration > System Profile > root > Policies > Syslog.
                          Step 2   In the General tab, click the syslog policy you want to delete, then click Delete.
                          Step 3   When prompted, confirm the deletion.

                                  Edits the DNS domain selected in the DNS Domains table. The default DNS domain cannot be deleted.

                                  Caution    Changing the DNS domain will cause a loss of connectivity that results in an error message, your session closing, and then the display of a new Prime Network Services Controller certificate. This situation occurs when the Prime Network Services Controller hostname, Prime Network Services Controller domain name, or both have changed. The VM Manager Extension file must be exported again and installed on vCenter. To continue, accept the Prime Network Services Controller certificate and log into Prime Network Services Controller again.

To continue, accept the Prime Network Services Controller certificate and log into Prime Network Services Controller again.
