SA Core parameter reference

This section describes configuration parameters that you will be required to specify values for during an SA Core installation.

Depending on the type of installation you are performing, Single-host, Simple or Advanced, you will be prompted to provide certain required parameter values.

These parameters provide values for:

• Passwords (SA Administrator, Database Administrator, etc.)
• Service Names (TNS name)
• Configuration parameter values
• Certification-related parameters
• Path names for programs, configuration file, logs
• IP Addresses for Core hosts and devices hosting Core components
• Gateway port numbers, and so on

The values you provide are used for the current installation and are saved to a Core Definition File (CDF) that you will use again later when upgrading the SA Core and when adding Secondary Cores for a Multimaster Mesh. This file is automatically saved during installation to /var/tmp and given a timestamp to aid you in identifying the file.

During installation, the SA Installer displays a series of parameters, some with default values that you can accept or modify, and other parameters that you must supply values for.

The number of parameters varies depending on whether you choose a single-host, standard, or advanced installation.
