Setting Global Configuration Parameters
239
Field Value
host This is the IP address of the Management
Server. If you are using multiple Management
Servers you should enter a load balanced IP
address that is reachable via the private network.
default.page.size Maximum number of items per page that can be
returned by a CloudStack API command. The
limit applies at the cloud level and can vary from
cloud to cloud. You can override this with a lower
value on a particular API call by using the page
and page size API command parameters. For
more information, see the Developer's Guide.
Default: 500.
ha.tag The label you want to use throughout the cloud
to designate certain hosts as dedicated HA
hosts. These hosts will be used only for HA-
enabled VMs that are restarting due to the failure
of another host. For example, you could set this
to ha_host. Specify the ha.tag value as a host
tag when you add a new host to the cloud.
