By default, you can reconfigure SkyVault by shutting down
the server, editing the relevant property in the configuration files, and then restarting the
server.
There are some support operations that can be performed on-demand at runtime without
needing to restart the server.
The Java Management Extension (JMX) interface allows you to access SkyVault through a standard JMX console that supports JMX Remoting (JSR-160). This lets you:
- Manage SkyVault subsystems
- Change log levels
- Enable or disable file servers (FTP/CIFS/NFS)
- Set server read-only mode
- Set server single-user mode
- Set server maximum user limit - including ability to prevent further logins
- Count user sessions/tickets
- User session/ticket invalidation
Example consoles include:
- JConsole (supplied with Java SE 5.0 and higher)
- MC4J
- JManage
Some of these consoles also provide basic graphs and/or alerts for monitoring JMX-managed attributes.
