Check and Precheck

The Precheck action verifies if hosts have correct settings and all components and services are configured according to the ADP cluster requirements. Precheck is available before the cluster installation.

The Check action includes Precheck and also checks if the installed cluster components operate correctly. Check is available after the cluster installation.

You can find the result on the Jobs page. If the action completes successfully, the corresponding task changes its status from running to success. If the job fails, it switches to the failed status. The actions also store the result in the global_adcm_precheck_fail ADCM variable to implement a postponed failure. The result is a boolean value. It is true if the last Check or Precheck action is successful. The false value indicates that an error occurred during checking. In this case, the status of the Check global_adcm_precheck_fail operation is changed to failed. In some cases, when Check global_adcm_precheck_fail is failed, you need to review inner steps of the Check or Precheck action that are marked as successful to determine the cause of the problem.

Enforce Enhanced Security

The Enforce Enhanced Security action allows you to enable the following security options:

  • Enable Password Policy — security policies for user credentials;

  • Enable Audit Policy — logging of security events such as user account creation, changes of account settings, authentication attempts, and others;

  • Enable Integrity Check — integrity check;

  • Enable Memory Purge — automatic deletion of ADP database objects from RAM.

These security options correspond to trust level 4 of the FSTEC certification.
