Intelligent Management: autonomic controllers custom properties
You can use custom properties to configure the autonomic controllers to always start on a particular node or deployment manager process.
To force a controller to always start on a deployment manager or a node agent process, set the HAManagedItemPreferred_component_variable custom property on the specific deployment manager or node.
Complete the following steps to set the custom property on a node
agent process.
- In the administrative console, click .
- Enter the name of the custom property.
- Set the value of the custom property to true.
- Click Apply, and save your changes.
Complete the following steps to set the custom property on a deployment
manager process.
- In the administrative console, click .
- Enter the name of the custom property.
- Set the value of the custom property to true.
- Click Apply, and save your changes.
After you set each custom property, perform these steps:
- Restart the current process in which the controller is running. Skip this step if the custom property is used in the environment for the first time.
- Restart the Java™ virtual machine where the custom property was set.
Examples
To configure the application placement
controller to start on a specific deployment manager or a node agent
process, set the following custom property:
HAManagedItemPreferred_apc=true
If the cell
is started after the custom property is set, the application placement
controller starts at the specified deployment manager or node agent
process. If the cell is already active when the custom property is
set, the controller starts with the specified process only after the
cell is stopped and started again. When you use elasticity
mode in an environment in which multi-cell performance management
is configured, you must configure certain controllers to start on
the deployment managers of the center cell and the point cells.
避免困難: When you are using elasticity mode, you must set
the HAManagedItemPreferred_apc custom property on the deployment manager
or node that will not be removed. Otherwise, the application placement
controller does not operate. gotcha

To configure the autonomic
request flow manager to start on a deployment manager or a node agent
process, set the following custom property:
HAManagedItemPreferred_arfm=true
To configure
the health management controller to start on a deployment manager
or a node agent process, set the following custom property:
HAManagedItemPreferred_hmm=true
To
configure the high availability plugin-cfg generation service to start
on a deployment manager or a node agent process, set the following
custom property:
HAManagedItemPreferred_PluginCfgGenerator=true
To
configure the VMware activity publisher to start on a deployment manager
or a node agent process, set the following custom property:
HAManagedItemPreferred_vmshimactivitypublisher=true
To
configure the cell agent to start on the deployment managers of the
point cells, set the following custom property:
HAManagedItemPreferred_cellagent=true
