Table 9.7: Expert - Ports - Physical Ports - Data Buffering Fields
Field Name Definition
Destination Location for the data files: Local or Remote.
Mode (Local Destination) Circular or linear. In circular mode, data is written into the specified local data file
until the upper limit on the file size is reached; then the data is overwritten starting
from the top of the file as additional data comes in. Circular buffering requires the
administrator to set up processes to examine the data during the timeframe
before the data is overwritten by new data.
File Size (Bytes) (Local
Destination)
The maximum file size for the data buffer file. The file size must be greater than
zero.
NFS File Path (Remote
Destination)
The path for the mount point of the directory where data buffer file is to be stored.
NOTE: The NFS server must already be configured with the mount point shared
(exported), and the shared directory from the NFS server must be mounted on the
console server.
