Configuring SSH connection thresholds for LCM jobs

Adjust the default SSH connection thresholds for Lifecycle Manager jobs as necessary for your environment.

Adjust the default values for SSH connection attempts during Lifecycle Manager (LCM) jobs as necessary for your environment.

opscenterd.conf

The location of the opscenterd.conf file depends on the type of installation:
  • Package installations: /etc/opscenter/opscenterd.conf
  • Tarball installations: install_location/conf/opscenterd.conf

Procedure

  1. Open opscenterd.conf for editing.
  2. Adjust the available SSH connection values in the [lifecycle_manager] section:
    [lifecycle_manager] ssh_connect_timeout_in_seconds
    The number of seconds to wait for the SSH server on a target node to respond to a connection attempt during an LCM job. Default: 30 seconds.
    [lifecycle_manager] ssh_max_attempts
    The maximum number of times to attempt an SSH connection to a given target during an LCM job. Default: 3.
    [lifecycle_manager] ssh_retry_delay_in_seconds
    The number of seconds to wait between SSH connection retries during an LCM job. Default: 10 seconds.
    The following example doubles the default values for SSH connection attempts by LCM:
    [lifecycle_manager]
    ssh_connect_timeout_in_seconds = 60
    ssh_max_attempts = 6
    ssh_retry_delay_in_seconds = 20
    
  3. Restart OpsCenter.
