DS-System Help : Configuring the DS-System : Updating the DS-System configuration file parameters
 
Updating the DS-System configuration file parameters
The DS-System has a configuration file (dssys.cfg) that is created during the installation process and contains parameter and value pairs. We recommend you do not change these values unless necessary.
NOTE:  If you make any changes to the configuration file, you must restart the DS-System service or daemon for the changes to take effect.
The DS-System configuration file contains the following parameters:
 
Table 5 DS-System configuration file parameters
Parameter
Description
External IP Addr
External IP address is a public IP address for DS-Clients to connect to the DS-System.
• By default, this parameter is not set. DS-Operator will export all available internal (private) IP address(es) for the DS-System when you create a CRI file.
• If set, this value is exported into a CRI file you generate from DS-Operator.
• For N+1 DS-Systems, type the External IP address of the local DS-System node.
ClusterID
(N+1 DS-Systems only)
Identifies the DS-System node inside the N+1 configuration with a unique ID number.
Backup Root
Main storage location or the root directory on the DS-System for the online storage.
Del Root
Root directory where corrupted files or data from deleted clients are stored.
Temp Root
Temporary directory - a local directory (at least 20GB) that DS-System can use for various activities. If it is not set, DS-System will set it on the same drive as the Backup Root.
For N+1 DS-Systems, this key must be configured on each node to have a local path with enough space allocated for the temporary directory.
Upgrade Path
Any valid path containing the DS-Client automatic upgrade packages.
License File
Key from previous versions that required a specific license file for a DS-System for historical purposes only.
Database Type
Type of the database - MSSQL or Postgresql.
Database User
The username for the account used by DS-System to connect to the dssystem database.
Database Password
Password required to connect to the DS-System database. This must be in an encrypted format.
Note: To generate an encrypted version of your postgres password, use the Asigra Encryption Tool (asigraenc). For information, see the Tools User Guide.
Database Instance
Database instance name - Windows.
Database Host
Windows – Hostname for the database instance. For a SQL Server on the local computer, the value is “(local)”.
Linux – IP address or computer_name of the PostgreSQL instance
Database Home
Directory where the PostgreSQL client is installed - Linux only.
Database Port
Service port on the database server available for DS-System connections - Linux only.
DS-Client Port
Port used by DS-System to communicate with DS-Client.
A Windows DS-System also listens on the port listed in the Windows services file. If both configurations are available and are different, DS-System will listen on both the ports.
DS-Operator Port
Port used by DS-System to communicate with DS-Operator. A Windows DS-System considers this setting, only if the DS-Operator Port is missing from the Windows services file.
Installation Path
Valid path on the DS-System computer where the DS-System binaries are installed. A Linux DS-System uses this path for upgrades to the DS-System software, therefore this key should not be changed.
