RMS uses global and local environment variables:
Global environment variables must have the same setting on all the nodes in the cluster. RMS maintains global environment variables in the ENV object.
Local environment variables have priority over the global environment variables and can vary from node to node. RMS maintains local environment variables in the ENVL object.
RMS creates the ENV and ENVL objects dynamically from the contents of hvenv and hvenv.local when the base monitor starts up. The ENVL object values have priority over the ENV object values. Refer to the chapter "E.1 Setting environment variables" for more information.
Note
Global variable settings (ENV) are included in the configurations checksum that is common to the cluster. The checksum is verified on each node during startup of the base monitor. RMS will fail to start if it detects a checksum difference between the values on any two nodes.
Local variable settings (ENVL) are not included in the configurations checksum that is common to the cluster.
While RMS is running, you can display the environment variables with the hvdisp command which does not require root privilege. Use hvdisp ENV for global list and hvdisp ENVL for local list.
Refer to the "Appendix E Environment variables" for a complete description of each of these variables.
