5.2.1 Creating the management directory
The directory used for running an EADS server is called the management directory. Such items as the property files required for running the EADS server and the logs that are output during operation are stored in the management directory.
Log in as an OS user who runs the EADS server (system operation administrator), and then copy the /opt/hitachi/xeads/server/servers/template directory, a template for the management directory, to the /opt/hitachi/xeads/server/servers directory under an alias. The management directory name can consist of a maximum of 32 characters, including alphanumeric characters (from 0 to 9, A to Z, and a to z) and underscores (_).
cp -rf /opt/hitachi/xeads/server/servers/template /opt/hitachi/xeads/server/servers/any-management-directory-name
Note that in this manual, the term EADS server name means the management directory name.
You can assign a different OS user (system operation administrator) for each EADS server. Change the management directory access permissions as needed.
- Important note
-
If you will be using the existing management directory, either delete the following files and directories or move them to another directory:
-
All files and directories under the directory specified in the eads.logger.dir server property parameter
-
All files and directories under the directory specified in the eads.command.logger.dir command property parameter
If the existing management directory is used, the commands under management-directory/bin are overwritten by the commands under the /opt/hitachi/xeads/server/servers/template/bin directory during installation.
-
- Reference note
-
You can use a symbolic link created under the /opt/hitachi/xeads/server/servers directory as the management directory.
Use the symbolic link if you want to output to another disk the core dumps that are output directly under the management directory. Note that commands cannot be executed in the actual management directory.
