Hi Alex, I typically update system.vm.use.local.storage to true before I create my first zone in a fresh environment. The GUI tells me I need to reboot the CS Management Server, but I've noticed I don't really have to.
Is there a list somewhere that specifies which parameters really require a reboot of the CS MS and which ones don't? Also, I wonder if the GUI just says this for all Global Settings that are changed because it has no knowledge of which ones really require a reboot. Does that sound correct?
