6.3.1 MultiOpenTP1 configuration

The two OpenTP1 instances are installed in different OpenTP1 home directories. An OpenTP1 administrator is required for each OpenTP1 instance, although the same person can perform both sets of administration tasks.

In a MultiOpenTP1 configuration, each OpenTP1 instance is identified by an OpenTP1 identifier. The port number for the name service and process service must be unique for each OpenTP1 instance. The OpenTP1 identifier and the port number are specified in the system common definition. For details on setting up a MultiOpenTP1 environment, see the manual OpenTP1 Operation.

The following figure illustrates a multiOpenTP1 configuration.

(1) A sample for distributing MultiOpenTP1 commands

When a command such as rsh (a remote shell command) is used to execute a command on another node in a MultiOpenTP1 configuration, OpenTP1 instances on the remote node do not know where the command should be executed. Therefore, a node name must be specified when a command is executed.

The delvcmd command simplifies the way node names are specified in the process described above. The delvcmd command is installed in the TP1/Server Base shell file. For details about how to use the delvcmd command, see the description about the sample program in the OpenTP1 Programming Guide.
