2.7 Features not directly available in IBM Systems Director
IBM Systems Director is a lot different from CSM. Not every feature available in CSM has
direct equivalence in IBM Systems Director. In this chapter we discuss those features and,
when possible, provide recommendations or replacements.
2.7.1 Configuration File Manager
Configuration File Manager (CFM) is a CSM feature that provides a file repository for
configuration files that are common to some or all cluster nodes. CFM stores all shared
configuration files in one location on the management server and automatically propagates
changes to these files throughout the cluster. You must maintain the configuration files stored
on the management server. CFM also supports pre- and post-distribution scripts to handle
necessary tasks, for example stopping and starting daemons.
No direct replacement for this feature is offered in IBM System Director at the moment of
writing this book. You can manage configuration schemes using the AIX Profile Manager
plug-in but it does not provide a common file repository feature. The AIX command rdist can
be use to distribute files in a manual fashion, but does not have any pre- or post-distribution
capabilities.
