3.3 Configuration Management

The CMG-EAM has a comprehensive configuration management
system that allows both complete configurations and individual

classes of configuration information, such as data processing and
networking, to be saved individually and merged during restoration.

This feature can be very useful when multiple CMG-EAMs are to be

configured for a project. In a typical array with a central
communications hub arrangement, only two data processing

configurations need be created: one for the hub and one for an array
element. The latter can then be copied from CMG-EAM to CMG-EAM

to avoid having to configure each unit individually. Network
configurations need be created for each element of the array and for

the hub but these can all be created and stored on a single CMG-EAM.
If the complete set of stored configurations is then copied to each

machine and to any “hot spares”, then every CMG-EAM becomes
rapidly interchangeable: all that is required to deploy a unit is to

restore the correct data processing configuration (hub or element) and
then restore the appropriate network configuration.

Configuration files can also be backed up and stored on different sites

to provide a disaster management resource.
