Novell Documentation: ZENworks for Servers 3.0.2 - Understanding the ZfS Database

Understanding the ZfS Database

The ZfS database consists of files located in the \ZENWORKS\MMS\DB directory on the management server. The ZfS data is stored in the following logical database:

Topology/alarm database containing topology, alarms, and map information associated with the following files:
- MW.DB
- MW1.DB
- MW2.DB
- MW3.DB
The MW.LOG file in the \ZENWORKS\MMS\DB subdirectory saves your transaction information with the database files.

Running the Database

The database is run using the MGMTDBS.NCF file (located in the \SYSTEM directory on a server volume), which is executed from AUTOEXEC.NCF.

IMPORTANT: Ensure that the database is running as long as the ZfS services are running.

Database Caching

Increasing the database cache improves the database performance. The default database cache size is 48 MB. You can increase the cache size to an optimum level depending on the server memory. To increase the cache size, modify the -c option in SYS:\SYSTEM\MGMTDBS.NCF. For example, -c 64M sets the cache size to 64 MB. Reload the database after modifying the cache size.
