Value Type Default Explanation
DCE RPC server port registration Boolean True Selects whether to register RPC interfaces with endpoint mapper.

If set to false for the message action server, all managed nodes must have a dedicated server port configuration to be able to reach the HPOM for Windows management server.

If true, managed nodes can send messages in the usual way, but managed nodes with configured RPC server ports will use those and will not perform an endpoint mapper lookup.
DCE RPC server port Integer 0 Specifies exactly one port to be used by the RPC server. The value 0 means that the DCE runtime will assign a port.
DCE RPC server port specification file String none Complete path pointing to a server port specification file as described below.
Do NOT use " " when specifying the path.
Example: c:\Program Files\ports
DCE RPC server port lookup Boolean True Whether to perform an endpoint mapper lookup if no matching port for a managed node is found in the server port specification file.

Managed Node Registry Settings

Key Type Default Explanation
OPC_COMM_REGISTER_RPC_SRV Boolean TRUE Selects whether to register RPC server interfaces with endpoint mapper.
OPC_COMM_PORT_RANGE string empty Specifies exactly one port to be used by the RPC server. Must be set for the control agent (see page 9, how to restrict settings to individual processes).
OPC_COMM_PORT_MSGR Int 0 Specifies at which port the message interface of the Message Action Server (OvEpMsgActSrv) is listening on the management server. For HP Operations management servers, this must be same value as used for OPC_COMM_PORT_DISTM.
OPC_COMM_PORT_DISTM Int 0 Specifies at which port the deployment interface of the Message Action Server (OvEpMsgActSrv)is listening to configuration requests from the agent. For HP Operations management servers, this must be same value as used for OPC_COMM_PORT_MSGR. This setting is needed if the opcinfo file of the agent does not contain the variable setting: OPC_NO_CFG_RQST_AT_STARTUP TRUE.
OPC_COMM_RPC_PORT_FILE String empty Complete path pointing to a server port specification file as described below.
OPC_COMM_LOOKUP_RPC_SRV Boolean TRUE Whether to perform an endpoint mapper lookup if no matching port is found in the server port specification file.
