With the geode-p2p template:
  Please specify whether to maintain a local Geode cache. Default 'false':

With the geode-cs template:

When using a partitioned region attribute, it is recommended that you use PARTITION_REDUNDANT (rather than PARTITION) to ensure that the failure of a server does not result in lost session data.

  Please enter the name of the Geode region used to cache sessions. 
  Default 'gemfire_modules_sessions':

The above property determines the Geode region name.
