Hello EMC,

Can you tell me if the following procedure is also functional in version 5.1 path1 of VPLEX (GeoSynchrony 5.1.0.01.00.02). After making the change of the VPlexConsole.ini and restart the management sercice I did not find an increased timeout console GUI VPLEX.

In advance thank you for your feedback.

Question:

How to change the GUI idle timeout value.

Environment:

EMC SW: VPLEX 4.0.0.00.00.11

Environment:

Product: VPLEX

Problem:

After first logging into the GUI, a 10 minute window of inactivity elapses and the user is automatically logged out.

Fix:

  1. 1.) Log into the management server shell via a ssh

  1. 2.) Change to the smsflex directory via the following command:

'cd /opt/emc/VPlex/apache-tomcat-6.0.x/webapps/smsflex'

  1. 3.) The GUI idle timeout value is stored in a property in the VPlexConsole.ini file (if the file does not exist you will need to create it with the following command ->

'touch VPlexConsole.ini'

a.Open the VPlexConsole.ini file with an editor (ie. emacs/vim) and add the 'AUTO_LOGOUT_MINUTES=x' property to the configuration file (or simply change the value of 'x' if it exists).
To set the GUI logout to 20 minutes, replace the value of 'x' with 20.

       b. Save the file and quit.

  1. 4.) Restart the management console with the following command:

'sudo /etc/init.d/VPlexManagementConsole restart'

  1. 5.) Log out of the management server

  1. 6.) You will need to establish a new GUI session for the new setting to be effective
