7.3.2 Adapter command settings file
This section describes the name of the adapter command settings file, a component identifier, and notes on the adapter command settings file.
- Organization of this subsection
(1) Naming rule of the adapter command settings file
The following is the naming rule of the adapter command settings file:
Adaptercomponent-identifier.conf
For example, if the component identifier is /HITACHI/JP1/BASE/GETHOSTNAME, the adapter command settings file name will be Adapter_HITACHI_JP1_BASE_GETHOSTNAME.conf.
(2) Component identifier
A component identifier is a string for identifying a component of each product. A specific component identifier is assigned to each component of the individual linked product.
If a product name specified by product in the target host definition file for configuration collection partially matches a component identifier, the Intelligent Integrated Management Base executes the adapter command plug-in of the component to collect configuration information.
SYSTEM, DEFAULT, and a string starting with HITACHI are reserved identifiers. Follow the rules below when creating a component identifier:
-
Identifier size: Up to 240 bytes
-
Available characters: ASCII numbers, uppercase alphabetic letters, and forward slash (/)
(3) Setting items of the adapter command settings file
For details on the settings items in the adapter command settings file, see Table 4-4 Setting items of the adapter command settings file.
(4) Notes on the adapter command settings file
-
Even if a correct absolute path to the adapter command is not specified as the path in the cmdpath attribute of the adapter command settings file, the jddcreatetree command does not cause an error. Make sure you verify that a correct path to the adapter command is specified in the development environment before operation.
-
You do not have to enclose the path in double quotation marks or other characters even if the absolute path in the cmdpath attribute contains any space characters.
-
A single row can contain a maximum of 4,096 characters.
-
If there is more than one label with the same name, an error occurs.
-
If a label is omitted, an error occurs.
-
If even a single error exists in the file, the file is no longer valid.
-
The file is terminated with the line feed character.
-
The file can contain ASCII characters only.
-
When you specify a label, a white space or tab character is not allowed at the beginning of the row.
-
Any row containing white space or tab characters only is ignored.
