IBM® Carrier Grade Server X3650 TRevision 3.046and policies. In addition to the XML policies, the /etc/syscon.conf also contains two basic parameters forstarting and controlling the SysCon service: SYSCONENABLE and SYSCONINTERVAL.If SYSCONENABLE is not set, the daemon dies and all syscon device monitoring and logging aredisabled. SysCon devices will continue to be securely mounted but the system policies will not be ineffect. When SYSCONENABLE is set, the syscon daemon runs normally and performs checks on allSysCon devices at a rate specified in the SYSCONINTERVAL parameter. By default SYSCONINTERVALis set to 10 to force a check of all SysCon devices every ten seconds.All other values in /etc/syscon.conf are read-only and are derived from the XML SysCon policies found in/etc/syscon/runtime/policysettings.xml. Since the SysCon device is not available at installation time (andpossibly at daemon startup), the default policysettings.xml file is used until the SysCon device is locatedand mounted. From that point on, a sync action is performed at daemon startup to copy the SysCondevice’s runtime/policysettings.xml file to the system at: /etc/syscon/runtime/policysettings.xml, where itwill be used in the creation of the syscon.conf file.12.2 Events, Notification, and Actions12.2.1 SysCon EventsA “SysCon event” occurs whenever a device or key is inserted, mounted, changed, unmounted, orremoved. An event also occurs in the case of device/key remount failure. Each event has a device typeassociated with it: Device (embedded) or Key (removable). It is important to distinguish between the twosince event actions may differ according to the associated device type.Entry as it appears in policysettings.xml DescriptionSysConDevInsert Physical insertion of the SysCon deviceSysConDevMntb Successful mount of the SysCon device.
