Setting the frequency of NFS path optimization checks

By default, Virtual Storage Console for VMware vSphere checks the optimization of NFS paths every five minutes. You can change the frequency of these checks by modifying the vscPreferences.xml file.

Steps

  1. In the etc/vsc/vscPreferences.xml file, add the following entry: <entry key="default.server.path.optimization.sleep" value="value_in_seconds"/>
    value_in_seconds is the amount of time, specified in seconds, that you want VSC to wait before rechecking the optimization of the NFS paths.
  2. Verify that the optimization checks are occurring at the new interval by checking the entries in the log/vsc.log log file.

    The log file contains statements similar to the following that enable you to determine how often the path checks are occurring:

    2013-10-17 16:26:58,665 [Thread-16] DEBUG (PathOptimizationManager) 
    - Refreshing controllers and recalculating path optimization details...
    2013-10-17 16:26:58,667 [Thread-16] DEBUG (PathOptimizationManager) - 
    Path optimization detection complete.
