tpm accepts these options along with those in Section 9.8, “tpm Configuration Options”.

Table 9.21. tpm Common Options

CmdLine OptionINI File OptionDescription

--property, --property=key+=value, --property=key=value, --property=key~=/match/replace/property, property=key+=value, property=key=value, property=key~=/match/replace/Modify specific property values for the key in any file that the configure script touches.
--remove-propertyremove-propertyRemove the setting for a previously configured property
--replace-releasereplace-releaseUsed when upgrading or making configuration changes. This option will rebuild the entire release and recreate all metadata configuration.
--skip-validation-checkskip-validation-checkDo not run the specified validation check.
--skip-validation-warningsskip-validation-warningsDo not display warnings for the specified validation check.

--enable-validation-check

Option--enable-validation-check
Config File Optionsenable-validation-check
DescriptionEnable a specific validation check, overriding any configured skipped checks
Value Typestring

The --enable-validation-check will specifically enable a given validation check if the check had previously been set it be ignored in a previous invocation of the configuration through tpm. If a check fails, installation is canceled.

Setting both --skip-validation-check and --enable-validation-check is equivalent to explicitly disabling the specified check.

--enable-validation-warnings

Option--enable-validation-warnings
Config File Optionsenable-validation-warnings
DescriptionEnable a specific validation warning, overriding any configured skipped warning
Value Typestring

The --enable-validation-warnings will specifically enable a given validation warning check if the check had previously been set it be ignored in a previous invocation of the configuration through tpm.

Setting both --skip-validation-warnings and --enable-validation-warnings is equivalent to explicitly disabling the specified check.

--ini

Option--ini
Config File Optionsini
DescriptionSpecify the location of the directory where INI files will be located, or specify a specific filename
Value Typestring
Default/etc/tungsten/tungsten.ini

Specifies an alternative location, or file, for the INI files from the default.

--net-ssh-option

Option--net-ssh-option
Config File Optionsnet-ssh-option
DescriptionSet the Net::SSH option for remote system calls
Value Typestring

Enables you to set a specific Net::SSH option. For example:

shell> tpm update ... --net-ssh-option=compression=zlib

--property

Option--property
Aliases--property=key+=value, --property=key=value, --property=key~=/match/replace/
Config File Optionsproperty, property=key+=value, property=key=value, property=key~=/match/replace/
DescriptionModify specific property values for the key in any file that the configure script touches.
Value Typestring

The --property option enables you to explicitly set property values in the target files. A number of different models are supported:

  • key=value

    Set the property defined by key to the specified value without evaluating any template values or other rules.

  • key+=value

    Add the value to the property defined by key. Template values and other options append their settings to the end of the specified property.

  • key~=/match/replace/

    Evaluate any template values and other settings, and then perform the specified Ruby regex operation to the property defined by key. For example --property=replicator.key~=/(.*)/somevalue,\1/ will prepend somevalue before the template value for replicator.key.

--remove-property

Option--remove-property
Config File Optionsremove-property
DescriptionRemove the setting for a previously configured property
Value Typestring

Remove a previous explicit property setting. For example:

shell> tpm configure --remove-property=replicator.filter.pkey.addPkeyToInserts

--replace-release

Option--replace-release
Config File Optionsreplace-release
DescriptionUsed when upgrading or making configuration changes. This option will rebuild the entire release and recreate all metadata configuration.
Value Typeboolean

This property can only be used with tools/tpm update and can only be executed from within the software staging tree.

This option is highly recommended when upgrading between versions as it will ensure all metadata is correctly rebuilt for the version being installed.

It is not necessary when applying config changes, however it can be useful if properties are not being applied correctly, or if underlying metadata has become corrupt.

--skip-validation-check

Option--skip-validation-check
Config File Optionsskip-validation-check
DescriptionDo not run the specified validation check.
Value Typestring

The --skip-validation-check disables a given validation check. If any validation check fails, the installation, validation or configuration will automatically stop.

Warning

Using this option enables you to bypass the specified check, although skipping a check may lead to an invalid or non-working configuration.

You can identify a given check if an error or warning has been raised during configuration. For example, the default table type check:

...
ERROR >> centos >> The datasource root@centos:3306 (WITH PASSWORD) » 
 uses MyISAM as the default storage engine (MySQLDefaultTableTypeCheck)
...

The check in this case is MySQLDefaultTableTypeCheck, and could be ignored using --skip-validation-check=MySQLDefaultTableTypeCheck.

Setting both --skip-validation-check and --enable-validation-check is equivalent to explicitly disabling the specified check.

--skip-validation-warnings

Option--skip-validation-warnings
Config File Optionsskip-validation-warnings
DescriptionDo not display warnings for the specified validation check.
Value Typestring

The --skip-validation-warnings disables a given validation check.

You can identify a given check by examining the warnings generated during configuration. For example, the Linux swappiness warning:

...
WARN >> centos >> Linux swappiness is currently set to 60, on restart it will be 60, » 
 consider setting this to 10 or under to avoid swapping. (SwappinessCheck)
...

The check in this case is MySQLDefaultTableTypeCheck, and could be ignored using --skip-validation-warnings=SwappinessCheck.

Setting both --skip-validation-warnings and --enable-validation-warnings is equivalent to explicitly disabling the specified warning.
