Changing the hpsum.ini file

The hpsum.ini file is a plain-text file that configures multiple settings for the HP SUM session. You can define the following parameters with the examples below:

  • [FTP}

    port=disabled

  • [HTTP]

    port=63001

    ssl_port=63002

    num_threads=40

  • [Engine]

    temp_dir=<path>


    [NOTE: ]

    NOTE: This parameter is one method of changing the temp directory where HP SUM stores the log files and the nodes and the baseline database. For more information on changing the directory of the temp directory, see Changing the temporary directory.


    node=release

    use_http=false

  • [Download engine]

    use_http=true

  • [Log]

    file_name=engine.log

    log_format=type3

    column1=30

    column2=100

  • [Web]

    virtual_path=C:/Temp/7.1.0-final/hpsum/assets

  • [HEARTBEAT_SETTINGS]

    remotenode_hearbeat_time_interval=10

    masternode_hearbeat_time_interval=1

    remotenode_heartbeat_elapsed_time=90

  • [rpm]

    nodeps=false

  • [iLO_Federation]

    listen_time_in_seconds=5

    auto_multicast_discovery=true

To change the hpsum.ini file

  1. Navigate to the temp directory for HP SUM. The default location for the temp directory is /tmp/HPSUM (Linux) or %tempt%\HPSUM (Windows).


    [NOTE: ]

    NOTE: If this is the first time using HP SUM on this node, start HP SUM, and then shut down the application. HP SUM creates the file hpsum.ini and shutting down the application allows you to edit the file.


  2. Open the hpsum.ini file in a text editor.

  3. Change the parameters.

  4. Save the file.
