NOTE:
Keys used in the examples below are abbreviations, for example
PORT_MSGR
on the managed node stands for
OPC_COMM_PORT_MSGR
. On the management server, you can
set the necessary registry keys using the Server Configuration
dialog. See the Variable
Reference for the exact names.
On the managed nodes, node A reads the port of its management
server from the variables PORT_MSGR
and
PORT_DISTM
in the opcinfo file. Node B still uses the
endpoint mapper lookup when contacting its management server, as it
has not been configured otherwise. Therefore the management server
has to register its RPC server at the endpoint mapper (which is the
default).
RPC clients perform the following steps when connecting to an RPC server. A key to the diagram can be found below.
"Y" is an HPOM for UNIX management server and uses the opcinfo file to specify the ports used by the server processes.
"X" is an HPOM for Windows management server and uses the registry to specify the port used by the Message and Action server process.
