Parameter | Valid Values | Description |
External IP Addr | external IP address | The external IP address is a public IP address made available for DS-Clients to connect to the DS-System. • By default, this parameter is not set. DS-Operator will export all available internal (private) IP address(es) for the DS-System when you create a .CRI file using DS-Operator > DS-Client menu > Export Registration Info... • If set, this value will be exported into any .CRI files you generate from DS-Operator. • For N+1 DS-Systems, type the External IP address of the local DS-System node (not for the other nodes). |
ClusterID (N+1 DS-Systems only) | A number from “1 to n”, where n is the total number of nodes in the N+1 configuration | Identifies the DS-System node inside the N+1. • Each DS-System node in an N+1 configuration must have its own unique ID number. |
Backup Root | DS-System main storage location. | The root directory for the online storage. |
Del Root | The root directory where bad files or data from deleted clients are moved. | |
Temp Root | Any valid local path. If not set to a local path, the DS-System will default to the following local paths: • [Linux]: /tmp/DS-System • [Windows]: <system_drive>\Windows\Temp | The temporary directory. If is not explicitly set, DS-System will set it on the same drive as the “Backup Root”. This must be a local directory that the DS-System can use for various activities, like autonomic healing. • This location must have at least 20GB of free space to process files when required by DS-System. • Extremely large DS-Systems (e.g. >100TB) may need more space. • N+1 DS-Systems: On each node, this key must be configured to have a local path with enough space allocated for the temporary directory. |
Upgrade Path | Any valid path containing the DS-Client automatic upgrade packages. | The path for the upgrade folder. • Default is <Backup_Root>\Upgrade |
License File | This key is for historical purposes only (from previous versions that required a specific license file for a DS-System). If it exists, it will be ignored. | |
Database Type | The type of the database dssystem: • MSSQL or Postgresql | |
Database User | The username for the account used by the DS-System software to connect to the dssystem database. • [Windows] The “Administrator” account logged in when the installation created the DS-System database • [Linux]: “postgres” (default) or any database super-user | |
Database Password | The password for the account used by the DS-System software to connect to the dssystem database. | |
Database Instance | [Windows only] The database instance name. | |
Database Host | • [Windows] The hostname for the database instance. For a SQL Server on the local computer, the value is “(local)”. • [Linux] IP address or computer_name of the PostgreSQL instance | |
Database Home | [Linux only] The directory where the PostgreSQL client is installed. This is the directory where you can find: • bin/psql | |
Database Port | [Linux only] The service port on the database server available for DS-System connections. | |
DS-Client Port | The service port on the DS-System available for DS-Client connections. • Windows DS-System also listens on the port listed in the Windows services file. If both configurations are available and different, DS-System will listen on both the port listed in the services file and on the port listed in the dssys.cfg file. | |
DS-Operator Port | The service port on the DS-System available for DS-Operator connections. • Windows DS-System only considers this setting if the DS-Operator Port is missing from the Windows services file. | |
Installation Path | Valid path on the DS-System computer where the DS-System binaries are installed. | This path is selected during installation of the DS-System. • DS-System will load the default branding file for reports (“logo_ASIGRA.png”) from this path. • Linux DS-System also uses this path for upgrades to the DS-System software, therefore this key should not be changed. |
