InfoScale™ Cluster Server 9.0 Bundled Agents Reference Guide - AIX

ConfFile

Complete path of the configuration file that Samba uses.

Type and dimension: string-scalar

Example: "/etc/sfw/smb.conf"

LockDir

Lock directory of Samba. Samba stores the files smbd.pid, nmbd.pid, wins.dat (WINS database), and browse.dat (master browser database) in this directory.

Type and dimension: string-scalar

Example:" /usr/local/samba/var/locks"

SambaTopDir

Parent path of Samba daemon and binaries.

SambaServer agent uses SambaTopDir attribute value in an open entry point to determine the complete path of samba executables. If this attribute is configured after the resource is enabled, please disable and enable the resource again to bring this into effect as follows:

# hares -modify <res> Enabled 0

# hares -modify <res> Enabled 1

Example:"/usr/local/samba"

IndepthMonitorCyclePeriod

Number of monitor cycles after which the in-depth monitoring is performed. For example, the value 5 indicates that the agent monitors the resource in-depth every five monitor cycles. The value 0 indicates that the agent will not perform in-depth monitoring for the resource.

Type and dimension: integer-scalar

Default: 5

Ports

Ports where Samba accepts connections.

To run Samba over NBT (NetBios over TCP/IP), set this attribute to 139. To run Samba directly over TCP/IP, set this attribute to 445.

Type and dimension: integer-vector

Default: 139, 445

ResponseTimeout

Number of seconds the agent waits to receive the session response packet after sending the session request packet. For example, the value 5 indicates that the agent waits for five seconds before receiving the session response packet. Configure this attribute if in-depth monitoring is enabled.

Type and dimension: integer-scalar

Default: 10

PidFile

The absolute path to the Samba daemon pid file. This file contains the process ID of the monitored smbd process.

Configure this attribute if you are using a non-standard configuration file name or path. If this attribute is not configured for non-standard configuration file names, the agent checks the smbd-ConfFile.pid file for monitoring the resource.

Type and dimension: string-scalar

Example: "/usr/local/samba/var/locks/smbd.pid"

SocketAddress

This attribute has been deprecated. Use the Interfaces and BindInterfaceOnly attributes.

Interfaces

List of network interfaces on which Samba handles browsing.

Type and dimension: string-vector

This attribute accepts a list of all strings supported by Samba, which can be in any of the following formats:

If the Interfaces attribute is not set, Samba, by default, enables all active interfaces that are broadcast capable except the loopback adaptor (IP address 127.0.0.1).

For example:

Interfaces = { "10.209.74.98", "eth*", "eth0", "10.209.74.98/16" }

BindInterfaceOnly

This parameter allows the Samba admin to limit what interfaces on a machine will serve SMB requests.

Samba listens on the interfaces specified in the Interfaces attribute only if the BindInterfaceOnly attribute is set to 1.

Type and dimension: boolean-scalar

Default: 0

For example:

BindInterfaceOnly = 1
