Setting Grid or Controller Parameters

To set grid parameters such as cpu/memory resources for the controller you can do so through the BFC by click on the "Grids" tab, then choosing the appropriate grid, select the miscellaneous tab then hit the 'set' button next to Grid Parameters.

The syntax is the same as when doing it through the aldo and you can find all the available options by looking up the RefAld wiki page. Only values you would normally set with 'aldo set' can be used here. Most all commands will require a reboot to take effect so you will need to check the 'requires reboot' box. Note: This will take IMMEDIATE effect when pressing save and will perform a grid reboot.

You can also run these same commands safely (for 3.0.30) through the aldo command located in the /opt/bfc/applogic_versions/3.0.30/ directory if needed. I find this way to be much faster... but for customers we should be pointing them to use the BFC.

Example entries would be:

# set memory to 1024M; value is always in MB
ctl_vm_mb=1024
# set cpu to 1 cpu; valid entry is 1-100
ctl_vm_cpu=100
# set timezone; any value normally found in /usr/share/zoneinfo/
timezone=US/Central
