XAPI_PORT
Prompt: Changes to the user-defined inbound port to the XAPI server will not take effect until the XAPI server is restarted. Port number used by the XAPI server to receive incoming XAPI requests. [50020]:
This option specifies the port used by the XAPI server for incoming TCP requests from clients. Enter a number between 1024 and 65535 to define the port used by the XAPI server. Do not specify port 50003.
The XAPI server must be restarted for this variable to take effect.
-
XAPI_WORK_PATH
Prompt: Changes to the XAPI work directory will not take effect until the xapi server is restarted. Place the XAPI log and trace information in which directory. [$ACS_HOME/log/xapi]:
Select a directory where XAPI server work files will be placed. As installed, XAPI server logs information to the
$ACS_HOME/log/xapi
directory. In normal usage, the value of this variable won't be changed. An alternate path may be specified if there are disk space problems in the file system which contains$ACS_HOME
. The path given must be an absolute path (one which starts with/
or$ACS_HOME
).The XAPI server must be restarted for this variable to take effect.
-
XAPI_LOG_SIZE
Prompt: Changes to the XAPI log size will not take effect until the xapi server is restarted. Maximum XAPI log size in Mbytes. [20]:
This option specifies the threshold size for the XAPI Log, expressed in Mbytes (here defined as "1048576 bytes."). Enter a non-negative number. 20 is the default value of this option.
