The advantages to this approach are you only have to define
one entity, the IBM® Connect:Direct®/Plex,
and then copy that same definition to the network maps of the non-Plex
Servers and you can still use the NETMAP-checking feature.
About this task
To define a IBM Connect:Direct/Plex
that has servers running on several hosts, you can use the ALT.COMM
parameter in the network map of each non-Plex Server that will communicate
with the IBM Connect:Direct/Plex.
Procedure
- Specify USE.SERVER.NODE=NO in the IBM Connect:Direct/Plex
network map entry of each non-Plex Server so that all servers in the IBM Connect:Direct/Plex
environment appear as one node.
- Define the IBM Connect:Direct/Plex
node as an adjacent node with all possible IP addresses of the hosts
that the Manager can run on specified using the ALT.COMM definition.
The following is an example of the ALT.COMM parameter:
ADJACENT.NODE=( -
(CDMGR,1366,10.1.1.1,TCP,EXT,BOTH) -
ENVIRONMENT=ZOS -
PARSESS=(00000010 00000002) -
ALT.COMM=(ALT.DIR=TOP -
(ALT.ADDR=10.1.1.2,ALT.PORT=1366,-
ALT.TYPE=TCP , ALT.USE.OUT=NO )
(ALT.ADDR=10.1.1.3,ALT.PORT=1366,-
ALT.TYPE=TCP , ALT.USE.OUT=NO )
(ALT.ADDR=10.1.1.4,ALT.PORT=1366,-
ALT.TYPE=TCP , ALT.USE.OUT=NO )) -
|
- Copy this ALT.COMM definition and put it in the network
map of each non-Plex Server that will communicate with the IBM Connect:Direct/Plex.
