Environment Variables

Different Multi-DomainClosed Domain is a logical management environment that contains its own security policies, network objects, and configuration settings. Each Domain operates independently, allowing organizations to manage different business units, geographic regions, or security functions separately within a single Multi-Domain Management platform. Server processes require standard environment variables that:

  • Point to the installation directories of different components

  • Contain management IP addresses

  • Hold data important for correct initialization and operation of the processes

Additionally, specific environment variables control certain parameters of different functions of Multi-Domain Server.

Multi-Domain Server installation contains shell scripts for Bourne Shell and for C-Shell, which define the necessary environment variables:

  • The Bourne Shell version is:

    /opt/CPshrd-R81.20/tmp/.CPprofile.sh

  • The C-Shell version is:

    /opt/CPshrd-R81.20/tmp/.CPprofile.csh

Calling these script files from other shell script files (using the "." command or the "source" command) will define the environment necessary for the Multi-Domain Server processes to run.
