Editing and removing grids

In BMC Atrium Orchestrator Platform 7.7, you cannot create a new grid if you already have one or more grids. You can have more than one grid only if you have upgraded a BMC Atrium Orchestrator 7.6.02 system that had more than one grid.

Grid Manager enables you to modify the following grid properties:

• Grid description
• Logging level

However, you can remove a grid only if your environment contains more than one grid.

To edit a grid

1. Select the Manage tab, and then select the Grids tab.
2. Select the grid that you want to edit; then click , the Edit selected Grid icon.

3. Specify the changes to the grid configuration properties.

   Note

   You cannot change the grid name and the grid ID.

   1. Change the description for the grid (up to 300 characters).
      
      You can use special characters in the grid description, including spaces, underscores, asterisks, and other punctuation marks.

   2. Change the grid type.

      This field is no longer used and will be removed in a future release.

   3. Change the logging level used for processes running on all peers in this grid.
      The logging level applies to the processes.log file and the logging levels control the process activity information that is logged. Process starts and stops are logged regardless of the logging level.

      Logging level	Description
      DEBUG (default)	The most detailed logging level; logs low-level messages, normal execution, recoverable erroneous conditions, and unrecoverable erroneous conditions
      INFO	Logs normal execution, recoverable erroneous conditions, and unrecoverable erroneous conditions
      WARN	Logs recoverable erroneous conditions and unrecoverable erroneous conditions
      ERROR	The least detailed logging level; logs only error conditions that are not usually recoverable
      OFF	Turns off process activity logging on the grid

4. Click OK to save the changes.
   To return to the Grids list without saving the changes, click Cancel.
   
   The process log is located in the AO_HOME/tomcat/logs/processes.log file on each peer. The grid log is located in the AO_HOME/tomcat/logs/grid.log file on each peer.
   
   The screen might take a few minutes to refresh.

To remove a legacy grid from the environment

1. Select the Manage tab, and then select the Grids tab.

2. Select the grid that you want to remove; then click , the Delete selected Grid icon.
   If you have a single grid, the Delete selected Gridicon does not appear.

   Warning

   When you delete a grid, you also remove all peers and components configured for the grid.

3. Click OK to remove the grid.
