Installing the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager modifies only a subset of configuration settings from their defaults. Further modifications are made using the configuration tool:
rhevm-config.
The configuration tool does not require JBoss or the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager to be running to update the configuration. Configuration key values are stored in the database; configuration changes will not be saved unless the database is operational. Changes are applied when JBoss is restarted.
The Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager stores configuration settings as a series of key-to-value pair mappings. The configuration tool allows you to:
- list all available configuration keys,
- list all available configuration values,
- retrieve the value of a specific configuration key, and
- set the value of a specific configuration key.
You are also able to maintain multiple versions of the Manager's configuration with the configuration tool. Use the
--cver parameter to specify the configuration version to be used when retrieving or setting a value for a configuration key. The default configuration version is general.
