NSP RPM-based configuration file

Using the config.yml file

The config.yml file specifies the deployment criteria for RPM-based NSP components. Based on your requirements, you must edit the config.yml sections that apply to your deployment; an example configuration file is in the following directory:

NSP_installer_directory/NSD_NRC_R_r/examples

Note: It is strongly recommended that you use a modified copy of the example configuration file for your deployment.

Configuring parameters

To enable a section and the required parameters in the section, you must do the following:

1. Remove the leading # character from the section label.

2. Remove the leading # character from each parameter that you need to configure.

3. Enter the required value for each parameter, as described in the comment lines above the section label.

Note: It is recommended that you remove parameter lines that you do not require from the configuration file. Also, failing to provide a parameter value may have undesired consequences.

Note: In the event of a discrepancy between information in a configuration file and the NSP documentation, or if the documentation fails to adequately describe a specific configuration, the configuration file information is to be followed and considered correct. Also, the NSP Release Notice describes configuration updates and corrections that are not captured in the core documentation.

RPM-based deployment parameters

Table 13-1, config.yml parameters lists and describes the config.yml file sections and parameters that are specific to the RPM-based components of an NSP deployment.
