Currently, FAST is only used at the SeD-level, so these parameters
will only have an effect in SeD configuration files.
fastUse default = 0
This option
activates the requests to FAST. It is ignored if DIET was compiled
without FAST, and defaults to 0 otherwise.
The following options are ignored if DIET was compiled without FAST or if fastUse is set to 0.
LDAP options
ldapUse default = 0
This option activates the use of LDAP in FAST requests. Only SeDs
need to connect to the LDAP so the option is ignored at the agent-level.
The following two options are ignored if ldapUse is set to 0.
ldapBase default = none
Specify
the host:port address of the LDAP base where FAST gets the
results of its benchmarks.
ldapMask default = none
Specify
the mask used for requests to the LDAP base. It must match the one
given in the .ldif file of the server that was added to the
base.
NWS options
nwsUse default = 0
This option
activates the use of NWS in FAST requests. If 0, FAST will use an
internal sensor for the performance of the machine, but will not be
able to evaluate communication times.
The following option is ignored if nwsUse is set to 0.
nwsNameserver default = none
Specify the host:port address of the NWS name server.
Multi-MA options
To federate resources, each MA tries periodically to contact other
MAs. These options define how the MA connects to the others.
neighbours default = empty list {}
List of known MAs separated by commas. The MA will try to connect
itself to the MAs named in this list. Each MA is described by the name
of its host followed by its bind service port number (see
bindServicePort). For example host1.domain.com:500,
host4.domain.com:500, host.domainB.net:2001 is a
valid three MAs list. By default, an empty list is set into
neighbours.
maximumNeighbours default = 10
This is the
maximum number of other MAs that can be connected to the current MA. If
another MA wants to connect and the current number of connected MAs is equal to
maximumNeighbours, the request is rejected.
minimumNeighbours default = 2
This is
the minimum number of MAs that should be connected to the MA. If the
current number of connected MA is lower than
minimumNeighbours, the MA tries to connect to other MAs.
updateLinkPeriod default = 300
The MA
checks if the connected MAs are alive every updateLinkPeriod
seconds.
bindServicePort default = none
The MAs need to use a specific port to be able to federate themselves. This
port is only used for initializing connections between MAs. If this
parameter is not set, the MA will not accept incoming connection.
