Processing across mount points
Use this procedure to configure the Application Server so snapshots, audits, and BLPackages in BMC Server Automation can be processed across UNIX mount points and network mount points for remote file systems shared through NFS.
Note
On a Windows platform, the performance of Snapshot and Audit Jobs is impacted by the overall performance of the storage area network.
For example, to cross mount points, you can perform a snapshot or audit of / and processing can traverse other volumes such as /home or /usr that might reside under /. Choosing not to cross mount points can substantially increase the speed of snapshots, audits, and packaging of BLPackages. By default, processing does not cross mount points.
- Start the Application Server Administration console, as described in Starting the Application Server Administration console.
- To specify how UNIX mount points are processed, enter the following:
set mountconfig SnpAudPkgCrossMounts true|false
False
means that processing does not cross mount points (this is the default value).True
means processing of audits, snapshots, and BLPackages crosses mount points.
- To specify how network mount points are processed, enter the following:
set mountconfig SnpAudPkgNetworkMounts true|false
False
means that processing does not cross network mount points (this is the default value).True
means processing of audits, snapshots, and BLPackages crosses network mount points.
To setSnpAudPkgNetworkMounts
totrue
, theSnpAudPkgCrossMounts
option must also be set totrue
(see step 2).
- Restart the Application Server.
