Configuring backup servers to deliver events

The configuration uses TCP sockets to deliver events. You specify how to contact backup servers by defining the transport channel to be the server name and the port number.

About this task

You specify how to contact backup servers by completing the following steps:

Procedure

  1. Create names for connections you want to make to the backup servers. Use the TransportList keyword to create this list.
  2. Specify either an SSL or a SOCKET connection for each of the items in this list by using the Type keyword.
  3. Optional: Specify multiple channels as alternate paths for each type of transport, using the ServerLocation keyword.

Example

The following is a backup example for the C API:
TransportList=t1,t2
t1Type=SSL
t1Channels=c1,c2
c1ServerLocation=sslhost1
c1Port=1111

c1_SSLKeystore=/my/location/gbkeys.kdb
c1_SSLKeystorePW=password
c1_SSLKeystoreStashFile=/my/location/gbkeys.sth
c1_SSLCipherList=SSL_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA

c1_SSLFIPSMode=OFF

c2ServerLocation=sslhost2
c2Port=2222

c2_SSLKeystore=/my/other/location/gbkeys.kdb
c2_SSLKeystorePW=password
c2_SSLCipherList=SSL_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA
c2_SSLFIPSMode=OFF

t2Type=SOCKET
t2Channels=c3,c4
c3ServerLocation=host1
c3Port=1234
c4ServerLocation=host2
c4Port=5678
