7.3 Preferences

The Preferences subtab allows you to change the default values used by Oracle VM Manager. The management pane contains a form that allows you to change different variable values.

The options listed here apply to different functionalities within Oracle VM Manager. These are described below:

  • Refresh Job Timeout Value: This radio button controls whether or not a timeout value is applied for long running jobs, such as refreshing the list of available file systems. If a timeout value is set, specify the number of seconds to wait before timing out in the field provided.

  • Statistics Collection Interval: This field allows you to specify how frequently statistics are collected for servers. The statistics are used within Oracle VM Manager on the Health tab. The value for this field can be between 20 seconds and 31,536,000 seconds (one year). For more information on server statistics see Section 2.3, “Statistics”.

  • Statistics Collection Hold Time: This field allows you to specify how long statistics are stored by Oracle VM Manager before they are refreshed. The statistics are used within Oracle VM Manager on the Health tab. The value for this field can be between 15 minutes and 4320 minutes (3 days). The default value is 60 minutes. For more information on server statistics see Section 2.3, “Statistics”.

The configuration parameters can be changed with instant effect. No restart of Oracle VM Manager is required.

See No File Systems Found When Searching a Storage Server in the Oracle VM Administrator's Guide for more information on when these UI preferences should be changed.
