Identifying a file system to a CAS

To identify a common registry file system to a CAS you must tell the CAS where the mount point is by using the HFSPATH view in Plex Manager.

Note

In previous releases, the file system for the BMC AMI Ops Infrastructure common registry was known as the Alarm Management file system. The file system was identified to a CAS by using the BBMHFS00 statement in a CAS started task procedure.

If you had a file system identified to a CAS by using the BBMHFS00 statement, you must perform the task in this topic for the CAS to know about the file system. The BBMHFS00 statement is no longer supported by BMC AMI Ops Infrastructure.

The HFSPATH view displays entries in the Runtime Component System(RTCS) system registry that pertain to the common registry file system. An entry contains the path to the file system and specifies which CAS should use the entry.

You can identify a unique file system for a CAS to use, or you can define a single shared file system that is used by multiple CASs. A unique entry is given the same name as the related CAS. The shared entry is named $SHARED$.

When a CAS starts, it looks for a unique entry in the RTCS system registry to use. If there is no unique entry for the CAS, the CAS uses the shared entry.

To identify a file system to a CAS

  1. Access the HFSPATH view as described in Accessing-the-HFSPATH-view.
  2. Place the cursor next to an entry you want to use as a model in the CMD column, type ADD, and press Enter.The Define or Add a New HFSPATH dialog is displayed.
  3. Enter the name of the CAS that is going to use the path data specified in this entry, or leave the field blank if the entry is going to be shared by the CASs in the SSI.
  4. Change the HFS path as needed. The first 60 characters of the path are entered in the HFSPATH field. The remaining 68 characters are entered in the path name continued field ( ...........).
  5. Enter the END command to save the new entry.
