Overview of the cepp.conf file NOTE: The cepp.conf file is used for VNX systems only. For Unity systems, the configuration details are created when setting up Events Publishing for each NAS server in Unisphere (Storage > File > NAS Servers > Properties > Protection & Events > Events Publishing). The cepp.conf file contains information that is necessary to connect one or more VNX Data Movers to the Windows machines that are running the CEE software. The administrator must create a configuration file that contains at least one event, one pool, and one server. All other parameters are optional. The cepp.conf file resides on the VNX Data Mover. To use CEPA, each VNX Data Mover that runs the EMC CAVA service must have a valid cepp.conf file on it or the EMC CAVA service will not start. Examples of cepp.conf Example 1 shows a cepp.conf file that uses one continuous line for most of the options except for the global options, each of which is on its own line. Depending on the text editor being used, the information can wrap to additional lines, but will be treated by the system as one continuous line. Example 2 shows the same cepp.conf file with separate lines for all options. Example 3 shows a cepp.conf file that specifies multiple pools for post events. NOTE: httpport, cifsserver, surveytime, ft, and msrpcuser are global options that are always written on separate lines. Do not add "\" at the end of the lines that contain httpport, cifsserver, surveytime, ft, and msrpcuser. Example 1 httpport=12228 cifsserver=dbms surveytime=90 ft level=1 location=/fs1 size=5 msrpcuser=user1 pool name=pool1 servers=128.221.252.1:[2510:0:175:111:0:4:aab:ad2] preevents=* postevents=* posterrevents=* option=ignore reqtimeout=500 retrytimeout=50 NOTE: IPv6 addresses should be enclosed in square brackets to separate them from the colon delimiter that is used between multiple addresses. Example 2 httpport=12228 cifsserver=dbms surveytime=90 ft level=1 location=/fs1 size=5 msrpcuser=user1 pool name=pool1 \ servers=128.221.252.1:[2510:0:175:111:0:4:aab:ad2] \ preevents=* \ postevents=* \ posterrevents=* \ option=ignore \ reqtimeout=500 \ retrytimeout=50 NOTE: Event descriptions contains the list of valid pre-event, post-event, and post error event values. NOTE: You must include a space before a "\" used at the end of a line. The "\" is not used on the last line or on lines that contain any of the five global options. 74 Unity and VNX CEPA Information

Overview of the cepp.conf file
NOTE:
The
cepp.conf
file is used for VNX systems only. For Unity systems, the configuration details are created
when setting up Events Publishing for each NAS server in Unisphere (
Storage
>
File
>
NAS Servers
>
Properties
>
Protection & Events
>
Events Publishing
).
The
cepp.conf
file contains information that is necessary to connect one or more VNX Data Movers to the Windows
machines that are running the CEE software. The administrator must create a configuration file that contains at least one event,
one pool, and one server. All other parameters are optional. The
cepp.conf
file resides on the VNX Data Mover.
To use CEPA, each VNX Data Mover that runs the EMC CAVA service must have a valid
cepp.conf
file on it or the EMC
CAVA service will not start.
Examples of cepp.conf
Example 1
shows a
cepp.conf
file that uses one continuous line for most of the options except for the global options, each of
which is on its own line. Depending on the text editor being used, the information can wrap to additional lines, but will be treated
by the system as one continuous line.
Example 2
shows the same
cepp.conf
file with separate lines for all options.
Example 3
shows a
cepp.conf
file that specifies multiple pools for post events.
NOTE:
httpport
,
cifsserver
,
surveytime
,
ft
, and
msrpcuser
are global options that are always written on
separate lines. Do not add "\" at the end of the lines that contain
httpport
,
cifsserver
,
surveytime
,
ft
, and
msrpcuser
.
Example 1
httpport=12228
cifsserver=dbms
surveytime=90
ft level=1 location=/fs1 size=5
msrpcuser=user1
pool name=pool1 servers=128.221.252.1:[2510:0:175:111:0:4:aab:ad2]
preevents=* postevents=* posterrevents=* option=ignore reqtimeout=500
retrytimeout=50
NOTE:
IPv6 addresses should be enclosed in square brackets to separate them from the colon delimiter that is used
between multiple addresses.
Example 2
httpport=12228
cifsserver=dbms
surveytime=90
ft level=1 location=/fs1 size=5
msrpcuser=user1
pool name=pool1 \
servers=128.221.252.1:[2510:0:175:111:0:4:aab:ad2] \
preevents=* \
postevents=* \
posterrevents=* \
option=ignore \
reqtimeout=500 \
retrytimeout=50
NOTE:
Event descriptions
contains the list of valid pre-event, post-event, and post error event values.
NOTE:
You must include a space before a "\" used at the end of a line. The "\" is not used on the last line or on lines that
contain any of the five global options.
